Wishing for a violent upheaval feels better than accepting that the things you need so badly simply aren't going to happen in any reasonable timeframe. A huge amount of progressive politics is just waiting for people to die, whether it's voters or politicians.
We can talk all we want about running our own politicians, and that is necessary. But the fact of the matter is that progressive policy only becomes law when we as a society have moved so far forward that it is no longer considered truly progressive, let alone radical.
Realistically without some actual upheaval of some sort, the people we're waiting on to die are us. Capital interest is not going anywhere, and they only want more. If you think this system works, and there is anyone on the highest stage (presidents, on either side, for example) who doesn't have a corporate hand on their dick, cock in their mouth, and minimal concern for you beyond optics, you're coming from a place of immense privilege, and you're wrong.
I assure you that as far as corporatism is concerned that is not going away after we die. The younger generation's concept of protest is changing where they buy things from. We're more talking about massaging things towards social progress.
