Revolution is the only solution. Even if USians managed to elect a really good reformist, the dominant class will not take lightly to that. We take the path of revolution not because we want it, but because it’s the path the bourgeoisie forces us to take, they will simply not allow you to meddle too much with their system without consequences, and will fight to keep it in place, just like the monarchies of the past fought these same bourgeoisie that violently took the power away from them to establish themselves as the new status quo.
Also, the US is a constant threat to leftists abroad, just need to look at Chile on 09/11/1971, when democratically elected socialist Salvador Allende was killed in a US-backed military coup that installed neoliberal dictator Pinochet into power, which is further proof of the problems of electoralism, but on an international scale.
Okay. My method doesn’t work. We can’t reform the system from within.
What does?
What’s your perfect solution? How do we get there?
I’m honestly curious. I’m pissed at the status quo, and don’t know how to make things better with my limited personal power.
Full scale invasion. Liberating the world requires destroying the global oppressor.

You genuinely should read marxist theory. Comrade Cowbee have a great starting guide.
The answers to this comment reveal why I disagreed with the rest of these folks when I originally responded to you.
As a liberal, I don’t think voting once every 4 years and hoping things get better is a great strategy.
But reading a bunch of theory until I accept Russia is amazing and wait for them to invade me doesn’t feel particularly better.
It’s not supposed to feel good for the burgers. Its supposed to crush the burgers once and for all.
