    Our version of democracy is flawed, yes, I agree. We can talk all day about what is working against us and how it looks like it won’t win.

    What I’m advocating for, though, is participating despite that. We need learn to work with the system as it is because there’s not much time to change it. Election reform, though, is my top priority going into the next presidency.

      The system doesn’t value your participation when it is run by people who hate you. Ritually pantomiming democracy is something you do for your own anxiety. It has no impact on the outside world.

      We need a system within to work. But the current system is actively harming its community. Working in the system means being this guy
