TL;DR- You will keep voting for pieces of shit until actual democracy is achieved.
The public that considers themselves “leftist” will read this and simply fall further into denial. Maybe espouse the regular catchphrases, “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good” or “i hate single issue voters”.
These mental gymnastics are a product of electoralism. When you live in a dictatorship disguising itself as a democracy, the failures of the system must be individualised. They will tell themselves “we must simply vote harder, that’s the problem”.
In reality, we are a society obsessed with violence. The average USian rejects basic human compassion, in order to justify the bloodshed we as a society are all responsible for.
In such a society the only people that would succeed would be furthering that brutality. Even if they say they won’t, such is the illusion of the 2 party system.
A just society wouldn’t trust any person as a representive, that is a recipe for corruption.
