I mean the future isn’t knowable but they got rid of Viktor Orbán in favor of a pro-EU guy who ran on anti-authorianism, healthcare, and public transport. Sounds like a much better option to me. And they did it by quite literally making it too big to rig.
Promising then, but we can’t be for sure until time is in its grave. It would be nice if something similar happened in the States. But I highly doubt it. If anything we are firmly moving in the opposite direction straight into hell. Which brings me back to my original statement, why deal with any of this? Get the people together, kick all the corpo dick suckers out, and if we have to have a government (not sorry, anarchist) let’s at least force one that works for the people. I know I’m not the only one who feels like they just can’t stand this any longer and I am beginning to feel like the activism I do is meaningless. I won’t stop, but I need change. And good change, fast.
What does not participating accomplish, exactly? Even if I’m unlikely to succeed, between a 0.0001% chance and a 0% chance, I’m going for the 0.0001% every time.
We stop wasting time picking the least evil and just do this to all evil in the country? Not voting doesnt mean we aren’t grabbing pitch forks and torches. Because its about time to do just that. The emperors can’t even pretend they have clothes on anymore. This is worse than Rome in the final days.
why participate? This was the peaceful alternative. All I see is flames in our future.
Look at what Hungary did. That’s why. They voted their way out of authoritarianism, so can we.
Has enough time even passed to prove that?

Yes. You got the implied message--you can’t win, don’t even try.
Too many Americans assume popular resistance can only happen on a single day, once every two years, in November.
