The system is what it is and it will only change over the course of lifetimes, not years.

Capitalism likely will not last that long. The US is losing its Hegemony and the Global South is increasingly acting in their own interests.

Unless your solution is violent revolution in which case I'd still say to still also cast meaningful votes based on some criteria of your choosing.

Revolution will likely eventually occur, it's not something I can just force into happening. Who I vote for will not materially change that course. I do plan on voting, but even if I vote for PSL it won't materially move the Revolution up the schedule.

I guess you could vote Republican on the hopes a fascist America would more quickly be overthrown internally or externally. That sounds like a terrible timeline to live through, though.

Accelerationism is dangerous thinking that quickly backfires. Organizing is still by far the most important duty of Leftists.

It must be frustrating to see the course America is on, know what it would take to alter it, but be powerless to stop it.

It's actually comforting, and there's much to be done to prepare. Organizing and building dual power is still necessary for American Leftists, such is our duty in dying Empire.
