Overthrow the government, or vote for the lesser evil. Yes. Those are the options. The lesser evil here is pushing for as many progressives in primaries and then voting dem. Overthrow includes a massive non-ending strike with coordinated goals. But even that seems impossible. So vote accordingly. What else is there to do?

    I've never heard of a government being overthrown by a strike. I'm not sure, but most successful attempts stormed government buildings, arrested and executed the leaders or forced them to flee into exile.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coups_and_coup_attempts_by_country I only found 1964 The October Revolution in Sudan and one that stopped a coup in Berlin.

    Not overthrown per se, but dramatically change directions maybe. Especially for a government beholden to the billionaires if they actually start to lose money, power.

    they have enough money to sit this out tho.

    and it won't be lasting fix, because the old and rotten power structures will still be in place. (like trump reverted things his predecessors did. as soon as he was back in power, for example.)
