    Elect more neolib oligarchs.

        Real change in America has never come from elections. It starts with direct action, and the direct action continues until it’s so much of a problem the government is forced to do something.

          But elections do determine the ratio of beatings to helpful legislation that occurs when government is forced to do something.
