Revolutions aren't successful unless they have some ties to those in power. So we need some comrades in office before making plans like that.

You could run for office

You ever hear of the ratchet effect? It only works that way when the 2 controlling parties have similar goals.

Thanks for ignoring the second paragraph.

a president can potentially pick several Supreme Court justices

Only if they have support from the senate.

Plus as the head of state, they are one of the biggest symbols of national identity.

Maybe they shouldn't be.

If low voter turnout is a problem, and they don’t want to vote for arguably the important role, why would they bother going out and queuing at all?

I'm arguing it's not the most important role and trying to get people to go vote even if they skip the president part of their ballot.

This doesn't acknowledge the core of my argument. This doesn't even contradict anything I've said.

The president isn't the only thing on the ballot. I don't see the revolution happening with the dearth of actually left wing politicians we currently have. Fuck the president, vote local.

That was pretty weird. You're also misrepresenting my argument. As far as my motivations for posting, they are 1, get people to vote even if it's not for president and 2, steer more conversation towards local politicians.

If we keep focusing solely on the president we'll never get better options.

We still have snow sometimes that means there's no global warming.

That's included but not the only thing I'm talking about. Also the real point I'm trying to make is if we're able to elect better people to congress and make those voices unignoreable, then it doesn't matter who the president is.

You're so right, because we are not currently living under a full extreme fascist state, that totally means the US isn't moving in that direction. /s
