The nation started with only white, land-owning men being able to vote (land which they stole from indigenous people using genocidal violence). Now it’s mostly only wealthy, land-owning, disproportionately-white men and women influencing the direction of the nation (at least “through the proper channels”).

fair

I think you might have a mythologized vision of America based on the Civil Rights era. That was the exception, not the rule.

I disagree, but it’s not worth pursuing, also fine.

Once you reach the point where you’re guilty of genocide, I don’t think you’re allowed to play “lesser” evil anymore. Even if you “only” genocide 400,000 people and ‘the other guy’ genocides 800,000 people, you’re both just irredeemably evil.

So the answer is moonshot for independent, which will fail and keep RNC in office. That’s your plan? Let’s just genocide the non whites here?

Again, we already had that with Bernie Sanders and the DNC rigged it. “Grassroots reform” in the capacity you’re talking about is a democratic function. You cannot play democracy with a fundamentally un-democratic institution.

Kind of tiresome to keep covering the same ground, Bernie wasn’t fucking grass roots. You’re not going to encact change by chaning out the head. You need to start at the bottom, push congress, then roll over the SCOTUS. You’re not going to move shit by putting in an ineffective president over a butthurt congress.
