I can see what you're saying, but I'm not talking about marginal improvements for the vast majority, or vast improvements for the vast minority. I'm talking about large, systemic improvements.

The issue with electoralism is that the right candidates cannot make it to the ballot in the first place, the system weeds them out.

I'm not defeatist about voting, I think loss prevention is crucial. I'm not naive though, voting won't ever fix our society, that must be done at the grassroots level.
