I'm not asking you to solve every problem but doing something, even something small is better than sitting on your ass bitching about other people doing something.

    I already made a suggestion for you. And you are the one doing the complaining and doing nothing. If you're voting and nothing else, you're doing worse than nothing, you're actively legitimizing genocide and war.

    For the record, I don't believe your ideology is wack. It's one I share. The difference is that I vote. I'm complaining because voting is important.

    What's the point of joining a communist party that will recieve less than 1% of 1% of the vote? It makes more sense to turn the Democratic party communist. Unless we have ranked choice voting, third parties aren't viable. It sucks but that's the situation we're in. If you're running for office and have great ideas than it's wasted unless you run under one of the two major parties.

    oh dear you are being incredibly naive. You don't shape the party, it shapes you. You're only focusing on electoralism and it's a dead end.

    Sounds like a defeatest attitude to me.

    What is it I should be focusing on then?

    Really? It has never happened, it can't happen. The democrats are there only to serve capital, same with the republicans.

    I told you, join a communist party and organize. Read theory. Voting in a bourgeois democracy does nothing for the proletariat.

    I’m complaining because voting is important.

    The US and Great Britain genocided entire continents, using bourgeios democracy, IE the parliamentary / representative voting system you hold so dear. Its proven to be the safest shell for rule by a capitalist minority, with the added benefit of making people think they actually live in a functioning democracy, rather than a completely rigged system.

    In the past 30 years or so, the PRC lifted more people out of poverty, than any other country in human history. This is probably the most significant acheivement in modern times, carried out by committed communists carrying out massive, nationwide poverty alleviation campaigns.
