Got a love electoralist politics and hierarchical power structures. All of society being controlled by the outcome of the lowest common denominator. Such a wonderful system, ain't it? (/s)
Those "positions of power" only have power because we collectively "agree" to concede to their authority.
We could always collectively organize to do something else ... but that means effort and risk needs to be taken. Sadly, in my experience, not enough people are ready and willing to take those risks . . . yet.
If the majority of voters are voting for this, then that’s your majority willing to collectively organize to do something.
"But if we avoid using the tools of democracy to create positive change and instead encourage people to not vote and be apathetic, we can make the human experience objectively worse for everyone. And, if we do it hard enough, and ensure that enough vulnerable people are sacrificed, it will magically turn those apathetic people into class l-conscious revolutionaries that are willing to die violent deaths for our version of utopia."
I wish this were a "/s".
The problem is you want real actual change for the better, most voters just want their team to win because they think it's the lesser of two evils.
