I call it least worst politics. We really really need to stop doing that.
It's why in the US, voting is the minimum we should be doing. Hence why I mentioned crabby letters and protests. More, up to and including general strikes and civil war once the discontent is severe enough and much of the population has little left to lose.
Which can be done via elections if their mechanisms are improved, such as proportional representation or ranked choice. But this system was made to keep the system stable while slavers were in power.
It's going to take more than mere elections to change that.
Hence, crabby letters and protests. General strikes if you can organize them. Civil war likely once the ownership class turns to massacres to preserve their wealth and power.
