@futurebird I'm not trying to steal your hope; but I've spent a lot of my life studying power systems and I gotta say, I just... I don't think we agree.
Also parasocial relationships with powerful people are just bad in general. Whether its to get you to cast a vote or buy a new pair of sneakers, the energy only goes one way and it isn't to you.
Dunno what else to tell you, I'm an anarchist for a reason. Because I believe these things and they are my studied opinion.
