I've been voting in every major election since 2016, and I don't regret doing it but I do feel myself becoming more and more disillusioned each time about whether the sort of democratic machinery we've built is even capable of producing the sort of radical change the American empire desperately needs. I really can't blame people who've concluded that voting isn't going to work.
