I voted for Nader. I feel ya. I sincerely wish the Green party had better traction than it does. But I’ve also started to suspect that for that to happen, victories must happen at the lower levels of government before we start lunging for high positions.
I phrase my feelings that way because part of me still believes it could be done top-down. I mean, just look at Trump’s victory, right? But that really was years in the making–specifically, years of gerrymandering, years of voter suppression, and years of culture-shifting propoganda via outlets such as Fox News.
I don’t know. I just don’t know. Maybe overhauling the Dems is a lost cause. The evident corruption of the DNC certainly affirms that such a shift won’t be easy.
