Look for ways to pursue political goals beyond obediently punching a ballot. The billionaires don’t control politics just because they vote harder. There’s lots of ways to go about it but almost all practical strategies involve being a part of a larger organization. Unions are the most classic example.
That is certainly a take. Just do nothing about it I guess. People can never make a difference or do anything without politicians. You’ve already ceded all the power you have.

It’s just lemmy.ml taking a pop at the US so they can feel superior. Feel free to ignore.

Then you don’t actually support the alternatives.

If elections matter, shouldn’t you vote for the person/party you supposedly support?

No one is making the argument that you have to agree 100% with whatever politician/party you’re voting for.
And where on earth did you get the “write in yourself” thing from, that’s an even more ridiculous strawman.
