Be the change you want to see in the world, embrace minimalism, don’t buy shit you don’t need, let the capitalists cry that their sales have slumped and if you want, work less hours and adjust your living standards, that’s what you can do.
Also vote for people who will bring more equality into society and tax the rich to better distribute wealth.
But the endless crying about working less hours online is the exact weapon the right wing cunts will use to call you lazy and entitled, because that’s how it comes off, bread doesn’t just appear in the grocery store.

Getting rid of FPTP would fix this. But, FPTP is what guarantees a D or an R will win. The only way to change the voting system is to have the lawmakers change it, but the lawmakers are the Ds and Rs that FPTP guarantees will win. So, they’d have to vote for a system that will cause them to lose elections.
There may be individual lawmakers who are honest and would want a better electoral system. But, they’d have to go up against their entire party apparatus which exists to block anything that is bad for the party.
