It's more "it's time to try something else."
I don't know who else needs to hear this, but electoralism is over in the United States. These people have stopped playing by any rules.
This is in our hands now. Nobody's coming to the rescue.
Christ some of you people are so smug. The people confidently saying "we won't have any more elections" never follow it up with any inspiration or call to actions. It reeks very much of "Genocide Joe" "Both sides are the same so why even bother" "All politicians are crooks apathy that's fucked America over.
Voting was never going to solve it, voting is the absolute bare minimum you can do. "These people" wrote the rules 70 years ago, we lost the class war and it's only becoming apparent now. I don't know who needs to hear this but posting online isn't going to do anything, it's just going to leave a record for Elon to scrape when he assigns your social score.
I agree with you that it's in our hands now, nobody is coming to help us. If you're not a white christian male, now is the time, before it's too late. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety. Their little coup was successful and if they don't want to give up power they won't.
Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Get a gun (or two) and learn how to use them.

Listen friend, I didn't insult you. How about instead of attacking people out of nowhere you extend the benefit of the doubt that someone is engaging in good faith? Like I assume you'd like people to do for you.
I've shared all the same advice and links you have in this post. I just don't do it every time because I'm not a robot.
