You can't vote out fascism. It just doesn't work that way. You either recognize the fascist ascent and surrender any idea of reform or you deny it by pretending reform is still possible and hand the keys to the fascists.
There are 3 ways to really travel long distance in the US (and most places, really, but I'm focusing on the issues in US travel): car, train, and plane - and they all fucking suck.
Travel via car:
How do you fuck up driving in a straight line with no red lights? Seriously, it is a big, open road with a reasonably high speed limit and all you've got to do is leave a safe amount of space between you and the person in front of you, use your fucking turn signal when changing lanes, and don't act like the road is your god given right. But no. Every single interstate is fucked up beyond belief. It is impossible to get anywhere on our interstates without sitting bumper-to-bumper because some asshole 10 miles up the road caused everyone to slam on their brakes by jumping across 4 lanes, or they weren't paying attention and caused a wreck, or 40 cars are trying to merge in at the ass end of the merge lane despite the half-mile of space they had to zipper in and no one is wanting to let them in (see previous god given right point). And you better prepare to stop if a wreck happened on the other side of the median. The side you're driving on, the side without the wreck, will slow down anyway for no particular reason. People will just slow down to look at some poor bastard's bad decisions fucking up everyone's day and potentially someone's life.
Travel via train:
How did we get this far behind? We used to have one of the most advanced railway systems in the world. We've been outpaced by pretty much everyone who has given a shit about their railways. Nothing says "irrelevant option" quite like a train in America. It's significantly slower than any other method, more expensive than a plane, and the only benefit you get is the option to have your own little cabin to rest in. I don't want to rest, I want to hurry up and get where the fuck I'm trying to go in this big ass country! We have zero high speed rail options in America. None. They don't exist. China has laid enough high speed rail in the last 20 years to connect Miami Florida to Seattle Washington 9 TIMES and we don't have a single fucking track. All this bullshit about electric cars and self driving has been a massive distraction from the realities that we are robbed of the only high speed, energy efficient, long distance option we could have. But no. We have the Amtrak. Which doesn't even have stops in every major city in America despite existing since 1971. And even if it did they'd take their sweet ass time getting you where you're trying to go anyway.
Travel via plane:
This is legitimately the worst way to travel in the US. I had to travel from Nashville TN to Orlando, Fl once for business. I did the math and realized that when you account for needing to get to the airport over 1 hour early, driving to and through the airport itself for overnight parking or ride-share drop-off, getting on the plane, flying to the place, getting out of the plane, getting your baggage, getting a ride to the hotel, and actually getting to the hotel itself, I only saved a bit more than 1 hour of travel time. And what do I get for that hour? Potentially lost or damaged luggage, sexually harassed by invasive security, MULTIPLE long ass lines, an uncomfortable, cramped flying tube, and probably a fucking sinus infection. It is the most stressful, bullshit way to travel in the US and it isn't even close. I'll take nearly getting clipped by some idiot not paying attention on the interstate over not having to deal with literally any of this. It just isn't worth it unless you're driving across at least half the country, and even then it shouldn't be this way.
To sum it up: everything sucks in US travel, we need public high speed rail which is not going to happen, and everything is likely going to get worse.
>Democracy for an insignificant minority, democracy for the rich–that is the democracy of capitalist society. If we look more closely into the machinery of capitalist democracy, we see everywhere, in the “petty” details of the suffrage (residential qualifications, exclusion of women, etc.), in the technique of the representative institutions, in the actual obstacles to the right of assembly, in the purely capitalist organization of the daily press, etc., etc.,–we see restriction after restriction upon democracy. These restrictions, exceptions, exclusions, obstacles for the poor seem slight, especially in the eyes of one who has never known want himself and has never been inclose contact with the oppressed classes in their mass life; but in their sum total these restrictions exclude and squeeze out the poor from politics, from active participation in democracy. (...) From this capitalist democracy–that is inevitably narrow and stealthily pushes aside the poor, and is therefore hypocritical and false through and through–forward development does not proceed simply, directly and smoothly, towards “greater and greater democracy", as the liberal professors and petty-bourgeois opportunists would have us believe. No, forward development, i.e., development towards communism, proceeds through the dictatorship of the proletariat, and cannot do otherwise, for the resistance of the capitalist exploiters cannot be broken by anyone else or in any other way.
