      I think it has to be both.

      There are many times throughout the history of the United States where a community came together and became prosperous only to have everything taken away by people supported by the state through shit laws and/or law enforcement turning a blind eye. Look at Black Wall Street aka the Tulsa massacre.

      I get that corruption is prevalent and is difficult to clean out, but there was massive sea change after the 1930’s crash that lead to the US having a massive, strong, and healthy middle class.

      I never said “don’t vote”

      🙄

      Never mind that it’s mostly the people who still believe in this puppet show that is “democracy” who don’t do both, not those pointing out how pointless voting really is (and yet I still fucking vote, in case you decide to deliberately miss the fucking point again).
