    You can and should support them as they align with your values, but you’ll never get enough votes for them to have any chance of overthrowing the big two. It has to be changed from within, unless you’re prepared to try violence.

      Since changing from within is impossible, and voting in a new party is highly unlikely, it seems the revolutionaries were right all along.

        Why do you think change from within impossible?

        That’s exactly what Trump and MAGA did to the Republican party.

        Violent revolution brings change but rarely the kind of change most of those who engaged in it actually wanted.
