We’ve been focusing on the next election for decades at this point. At some point you need to recognize the insanity of doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result.
There’s literally no way to send someone on American soil to El Salvador without due process. Check the Constitution if you think I’m lying. Still happened.
Stop pretending we have to work within the system as if the system works for us.
My example, however, is specifically something that is “not possible,” that is occurring in the very system that you are insisting is “not possible” to change.
Sure! Continue to get active in our communities, create support networks, and once you get enough supporters strike until change is implemented. That’s just a non-violent option too.
If you’d like to learn more about things being “impossible” and still changing, maybe read a history book! Civil rights, women’s suffrage, and the rise of the AFL are great starting points.
That’s not going to happen before the next election.

You are very funny.
Since you have such a great plan, why don’t you lay it out in detail?

That’s not a plan, that’s a wish list.
Explain in detail how you’re going to get ‘first past the post’ overturned.
How are you going to take control of the election boards? Get new laws passed?
Details matter.
