That's patently not true. The HR department has dumped two choices in your lap and you literally have to choose between them.

It sucks, and is something we absolutely need to fix in the future... but ignoring reality won't help anyone.

You do realize this is exactly the problem and the reason half of eligible voters sit at home on election day. Keep putting up shitty geriatrics and see how long it takes you to reach your future fix.

Personally I’m thinking the next candidate should come from OnlyFans. Er, no pun intended.

I mean, qualifications don’t appear to be an issue, so . . .

But we're literally picking the new head of the HR department. And every head of HR before this person was picked this way, because of the policies set by that HR department. Like, the only way you could change this rule would be for 37 of our 50 departments to come together and agree to change the rules as part of a company wide convention. And all of them run their HR systems the same way, so that doesn't look too likely.

Start at the bottom and work your way up. It will take a long time. Meaningful change always will. But we got Fargo and St. Louis using Approval Voting and proved a small group of motivated individuals can change their government.

Start at the bottom and work your way up.

Or just become a Senator at the age of 30 by selling out to your state's massive insurance and legal community.

Er, well, I’m not sure what you’re planning there but I think the first suggestion would be better.

I'm an anarcho-antirealist, and yet somehow I'm still better at recognising reality than these Stalinist liberals

^ What happens to a mfer with no concept of class consciousness and a lack of understanding of the present dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. The only way forward that doesn't involve fascist genocide is the creation of a true workers' party. Yes, the implication is that a workers' party would be for the complete dissolution of the United States, but that is what is needed right now.

If you disagree, you may as well tell any of the families of the 35k ethnically cleaned Palestinians that they must indefinitely wait until you get your genocidal ecocidal government (which was devised only 4 generations ago by rich, white, landowning slavers) sorted out.

"Just hold on folks! We are still figuring this out!". Bullshit. We tried our experiment, and we quickly failed. The backslide into genocidal fascism has begun. The only recourse is to abandon American electoralism, read Marx, and start planning for what comes next. We have a moral obligation to look at our genocidal nation and call a spade a spade. Dispelling the chauvinist myth that we as Americans protect the world and dispense limitless freedom to all is one of the first baby steps from liberal to leftist, and admittedly it's not easy.
