People like to conveniently forget about gerrymandered voting maps and the ever growing influence rich people have over the govt through lobbying and bribes.
The US has been an oligarchal democracy for decades now where the individuals vote means nothing as everything will be decided behind the scenes by the “elite” class.
“We face opposition, we should just give up.” Great thinking there. Don’t be so weak-willed. If you believe you have no options, there no options shall there be.
Yes, we face overwhelming odds. Yes, the rich have outsized power. But if all you do is go “welp, nothing I can do, may as well spend the day jerking off”, then you can’t expect change. Change doesn’t come easily either. It takes decades to build a movement, but a movement can’t be built off of “meh, why try? my self-fulling prophecy of doing nothing leading to no change is being fulfilled”.
Stop doing their work and speading hopelessness. You can be more than that.
This wasn’t supposed to come off as “defeatism” just that people ignore these truths and want to act like the majority of people aren’t being blatantly ignored suppressed.

Sounds an awful lot like defeatism. No need for the quotes. Your response doesn’t make it any better. “We are being supressed, that’s the the truth, we can’t do anything”.
