If you mean to point out elections by themselves are not sufficient to prevent fascism, well no shit.
This would be my intention, some people genuinely do not recognize this but I’m glad you do. I understand that thälmann being elected is incredibly wishful thinking and was likely impossible but it was meant to express that other options were available but ignored. I also get that Americans are not nearly class conscious enough to “dismantle the electoral system”, that is also pure fantasy at this time. I’m just expressing frustration

Some Americans are in fact trying to dismantle the electoral system.
Namely: the fascists.
That’s why voting to keep them out is so goddamn important. Voting won’t guarantee we’ll be okay, but not-voting will guarantee we get fucked.
