@white_male @shortstories @koropokkur @Eiswald @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @KarlDahl the system still has an immense amount of power to destroy people who step out of line, people who step out of line are thus going to be mostly misfits.

So the system channels people into attempting to change by using an established party which is already rotten.

So you have to either take your chances with an unknown org like NJP, or take your chances with something like the Freedom wing in the GOP where you hope the one thing you care about won't get thrown out in some kind of negotiation.
