Chelsea Manning gives up on voting, says it's time to transition to 'something radically different'

Chelsea Manning, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Maryland, is quite unhappy with how it’s going so far. Have a read:

ive been knocking on doors and making phone calls all over Maryland lately – most people aren't interested in voting, or elections, or civil discourse anymore – theyve heard it all before – they dont think it will make a difference – and they are right

And Manning’s given up on “any change thru the upcoming elections” because “the primaries are rigged”:

we cant expect any change thru the upcoming elections – the primaries are rigged – this so-called "blue wave" is gonna be more like a blue ripple, or a blue drip – establishment dems always happily vote for a warmer friendlier police state – change wont come thru any ballot

Manning thinks voting won’t work either and it’s time for something “radically different”:

voting wont change anything – protesting with chants and signs and holding hands isnt gonna change anything either – we need more than that – we cant wait anymore – we need something radically different and we cant just ask for it or expect it to happen somehow

“Voting won’t change anything” is a rather extraordinary thing to say. https://t.co/j4xD8xDhOb

And what’s “radically different” than voting? There aren’t many other options, but armed insurrection comes to mind:

Good luck with the armed insurrection, I guess. https://t.co/l3AbEOKDgQ
