    Maybe in our current state, where corruption can occur, but in a new, more democratic system where corruption can’t occur because no single person will have enough wealth or the financial incentive to be able to buy politicians.

    The problem isn’t electoral politics, but that we don’t live in a democracy.

      I was talking more about the whole fascist takeover thing. The current batch of oligarchs and dictators has to go before you can fix anything anywhere, and by the next election cycle American democracy will be dead. The timeline simply doesn’t allow for an electoral solution.

        Ah, I thought you were talking about the concept of electoral politics in general and not this specific moment in the US.
