Look for ways to pursue political goals beyond obediently punching a ballot. The billionaires don't control politics just because they vote harder. There's lots of ways to go about it but almost all practical strategies involve being a part of a larger organization. Unions are the most classic example.

The unions are corrupted, too.

Many are, yes, but 1) be selective of what union you join, 2) you're union vote counts more than your federal vote. Usurping a corrupt union boss is a much smaller task than usurping a corrupt democrat and can yield far more results.

Freshly organized work places are almost always more radical than those those entrenched, so organizing your workplace now is more important than ever. Then you can pick which union to join.
