I want to believe that things can be changed electorally, but I know that it wouldn't come from anyone near power currently. Mamdani is the greatest hope right now, but he's ultimately going to be in an ivory tower. He's also been very clear that he's being elected to run the ivory tower of America, so I'm not downplaying neither the significance or his awareness of the role.

There's no argument that Republicans have found a number of large exploits in the system that they are currently manipulating to "win" the US federal government. Whether or not such a system is theoretically capable of being repaired is up for debate, but it sure as hell isn't going to happen at the hands of fucking Democrats.
