That's not the question I asked, haha. Voting reform would be nice, of course, but that doesn't mean it will happen. That's pure idealism. Voting reform has been pushed for for decades, how do you plan on actually getting voting reform through? Waiting for candidates to magically appear in the DNC and not just third party, and vote for them?
If you don't get voting reform through, you don't have much leverage at all for much else.
I asked how you're getting it through, are you just saying the answer is to wait for the DNC to get around to it? Because I really hope that isn't what you're saying.
How are you getting anything else through? If you can push them to make any changes at all, this one should have top priority
I don't believe you can, which is why I support grassroots organizing. Strike funds, mutual aid, that kinda stuff. The state will not be reformed in a manner that gives workers a meaninful voice, only mild concessions, unless there is massive outside pressure.
