    Our elections were never going to change things. Losing electoralism isn’t great don’t get me wrong but when the only people you can reasonably get elected are presented to you by the owning class it isn’t a free election.

    There is a reason we call so many problems “systemic”

      It might not be Russia-levels of oligarchy, but it’s trending that way.
