After participating in high school politics, I was absolutely sure that elections never solve anything, as even when we did try to do good things, the school administration prevented us from doing so. In college, I softened up my stance abit just so I would stop making people literally cry in class from shutting them down so hard and comprehensively (literal liberal tears, which was heartbreaking), but I have since recalcified after seeing all of those well-meaning progressives get duped or dupe themselves over and over again. Instead, I have gotten better at how I present my stances.

I've always admired Marxist thinking though. That never changed.
