The only political power you have within America’s political system

Within electoralism, anyway. It’s not the only power we have, it’s just the only one we’re taught, and the only one in corporate media’s Overton window.

ETA: Thanks to two (now three) red scares, I probably should spell it out for the peanut gallery: Labor power.

Yeah, I agree. I definitely meant "electoralism" where I said "America's political system". Thanks for the correction!
