5. It's not about votes anymore. Those can be easily bought, or manufactured if necessary.
The only way to get attention is to start carving up the profiteers who are exploiting us.

Stop paying back debt; mass bankruptcies for people who are deeply underwater.

Labor strikes, not just by blue-collar workers, but by tech workers as well.

Mass "violation" of arbitrary "property-rights" laws... expose company secrets, free up information.

Keep this up until guilty parties are thrown in jail with long-term sentences.

Good luck playing "discontented voter" while USA, Incorporated has billions of dollars in reserve to confuse people and buy votes.

Etc.
