"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." Claire Wolfe https://www.azquotes.com/author/91711-Claire_Wolfe Wolfe's backstory is she met with a candidate, Senate iirc, talked with her, and felt they agreed on the major points and could set aside the minor ones. She was impressed enough that she worked on the woman's campaign. The woman was elected, went to Washington, and did a 180 within months. So much for working within the system. That was in the '90s. I don't know if she still thinks it's too early.
