My question is, what is an ML’s place in this whole ordeal, or more generally when it comes to spectacularized electoralism?

Basically, the ML take is “If you fell for this bullshit, don’t fall for it again the next time.”

It is meant to be a spectacle: Like a sport. Two teams. Lots of news about the ins and outs. Personalities and celebrity worship.

Any tiny wins or gains can be reversed by the next election until the system itself is thrown out.
