> vote for a party that legitimately changes the law through the defined channels
So what if no party is willing to do that? Gay marriage in many Western countries has consistently had over 50% support going back a long time[0], despite overwhelming polling, no elected governments on Earth were willing to change it except in the last few years. This is the same for other issues like marijuana decriminalisation. By your measure of legitimate change: Who does an American vote for to stop the 20 year war in Afghanistan? [1]

- antr 6y agoI'm failing to see how those genuine matters relate to a coup perpetrated by a minority of (privileged) citizens.
- thatcat 6y agoDidnt they vote via ipfs for succession? that is not a coup
- antr 6y agoI'm afraid that what you call "vote" was a staged and manipulated process, without a voter census, and no oversight by any Election Authority. This is the point, it was staged as a democratic event, but it was quite the contrary.

- antr 6y agoIndeed, the Catalan referendum was fake. Among the main irregular procedures include: 1. there are opaque ballot boxes, 2. there are no official ballots or envelopes, 3. the electoral census is hosted on online servers, 4. there is no electoral board, and 5. there is no counting system. Definition of coup.
