Edited to add - To be clear for anyone, it's Oligarchs/Billionaires paired with rampant, unfettered corporate greed. (at least in my view)

Someone reminded me that I was using dogwhistle parlance in my use of they which may have suggested otherwise.

Oh so you have a magic switch that's going to make everybody come out and vote right?

Because a ton of people have been burned by already trying to vote to fix the system That does not want to be fixed.

Oh so your magic switch is a new party in a fptp system or revolution? Good luck with that.

So why make a comment about voter turnout when voter turnout has never been good in a country where the government does not represent the will of the people.

Good luck trying to get all the apathetic people who have been screwed so so much by the system that won't help them to vote.

That's for sure going to be easier than talking to people about the reason why our system sucks and building a new one. 🤙

Yeah people that can't be assed to vote are going to create a whole new system.

Good luck. Maybe fine tune nuclear fusion while youre at it.
