      That’s not going to happen before the next election.

      Focus on what is in front of us right now.

          There is literally no way to change the election system right now. Check with your local board of elections if you think I’m lying.

            There’s literally no way to send someone on American soil to El Salvador without due process. Check the Constitution if you think I’m lying. Still happened.

            Stop pretending we have to work within the system as if the system works for us.

              Angelina Jolie can get paid $1 million for an hour’s work. You and I can’t do that.

              Some things are possible and others aren’t.

                My example, however, is specifically something that is “not possible,” that is occurring in the very system that you are insisting is “not possible” to change.

                  You are very funny.

                  Since you have such a great plan, why don’t you lay it out in detail?

                    Sure! Continue to get active in our communities, create support networks, and once you get enough supporters strike until change is implemented. That’s just a non-violent option too.

                    If you’d like to learn more about things being “impossible” and still changing, maybe read a history book! Civil rights, women’s suffrage, and the rise of the AFL are great starting points.

        We’ve been focusing on the next election for decades at this point. At some point you need to recognize the insanity of doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result.
