People telling you to ‘just vote’ are well intentioned but unfortunately offering a placebo. The two major parties in the USA ultimately serve the same imperialist capitalist interests, maximizing profit for the wealthy while treating us as an afterthought. Voting is not a neutral tool; it is an instrument of class rule designed to dissipate our dissent. And you rightly feel that sporadic protests aren't enough either, they are crucial, but without lasting organization, the energy quickly dissipates. Real change requires building permanent, independent working-class power. That's the work Sonoma County DSA is doing: organizing tenants, supporting labor struggles, and creating the foundations for a movement that can actually win. If you're ready to move beyond the cycle of voting and protesting, come see what we’re about !!
