My hope would be we would overthrow the ruling class

By voting for the party that represents the ruling class' interests and advances its agenda?

my hope was for a leftist party in America, ranked voting and at least 5 competitive parties trying to attract voters, a removal of jerrymandering, senate votes in some way tied to population size

That's nice and all, but in a two-party system you can't get any of that. Your choices are limited to the lesser evil and a bunch of fascists who want to turn the two-party system into a one-party system.

Guess it's wait for the war then.

Or you could try to forestall it. Y'know, on the basis that a war is going to be much worse than the flawed rule of the Democrats.

The flawed rule is what leads to the wars.

Does it? Or are you making the same mistake in your thinking as those guys who are terrified that the Dems are coming for their guns tomorrow despite numerous Dem administrations coming and going without anyone making such a move?
