Jack, I think you went a little too deep/far on the “My vote does not matter.”   I agree that your personal, individual specific vote would not change anything.  But isn’t that part of the propaganda of “The Machine” at the same time?  If everyone thinks that way, we continue to vote for no one, and the remaining sheeple vote red or blue, so The State wins.

But if enough of us decide that we are going to make another choice, and we build mass and momentum, our vote either counts or we actually realize we need another revolution.  Yes – it would take a few entire election cycles.  If we elected fresh non-red/blue representatives at a rate of 20 percent per election, it would take six years to put a majority of of “something else” into the machine and thus begin to change the process.  Senators are replace at a max 1/3 per cycle, so at a 1/3 of the third it would take 8 years to get 2/3 or the Senate replaced.

we need to think beyond the current “most important election” and get a long term plan together.  The challenge is acknowledging that the incumbents and institutional parties will fight this hard until they become a minority.  Tough to not be corrupted in that duration.

Cold steel sells spear heads that could be mounted on a broom handle. Should finish a wounded deer with proper application.
