Thank you so much for taking the time to read my article, Soul Dancer.

I followed you because I came across an article by yours about the reversal of Roe Vs Wade and thought we probably tend to have similar political opinions. Even tough I am a probably a bit more radical and distrust that change can emerge from the electoral process alone.

I believe that national strikes, for example, would be a more powerful way to pressure the ruling class to change the laws, whether the topic is reproductive rights or anything else. General elections in the USA are mostly trustworthy, but elite politicians still find ways to rig the game, either through gerrymandering electoral districts, voter suppression or using superdelegates in the primaries (like when Hillary stole the democratic nomination from Bernie in 2016). The ruling class has many methods (and a lot of money) to rig democracy in its favor.

Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. Thanks for following me back! Hope my writing is worthy of your time/attention.
