    Voting alone is insufficient, because in captive systems where a limited number of parties hold all political capital, you can only vote for complicit parties.

    Individual people have to run for office, and there has to be movements to get them elected, and those movements need to be more powerful than the existing parties who will attempt to suppress them.

    Honestly, at the level of organization that would be required, you’d probably just be better off ignoring the democratic process entirely, because it would take tens of millions.

      It does take tens of millions, that’s the point

      I’m not saying you should only vote, but rioting while letting your opposition win every election sure isn’t going to work
