We cannot vote our way out of this

Idk how many times the democrats need to prove this, but the DNC exists to protect capital interests against socialist policies and candidates.

This isn't a problem with FPTP systems, its a problem of class conflict, and our whole fucking system was built with it in mind. Democrats will sooner partner with fascists to arrest progressive opposition than allow them to pull the country to the left of them.
