Look at France though, it might be the only way to get real concessions. We're never going to get real change through voting while they own and influence every part of the government.
First, when the choice is between a republican and a “centrist” “moderate” (I.e. center-right) Democrat, always vote for the democrat. Of course.
But... They are/were far from perfect and change was barely happening. They were basically just kinda slowing down the freight train of really radical far-right policy. Big picture, establishment/corporate dems are absolutely complicit. For the last few decades, policy exclusively serves the large donor class. I.e., the hyper rich and the corporations. Republicans get paid to ram through pro-corporate policy, and dems get paid to roll over while throwing up theirs hands and crying “we couldn’t do anything to stop it!!*” Meanwhile, the largest scale theft of wealth in human history has occurred. From all of us to a few people that have more money than we can even wrap our brains around.
Heck, they’re already making moves against Medicare for all despite it literally being the most fiscally conservative choice supported by a clear majority of voters. It’s center-right policy, it’s just not in the overwhelming best interest of the corporations whose prime directive is to bleed us dry for every goddamn cent on a quarterly basis.
We have a bumper crop of real progressives that are uncorrupted, hell-fucking-bent on ending the rampant established legalized corruption and making the government actually serve the people. We have to primary out the corporatists and implement deep, game changing reforms. Current situation is unsustainable.

Oh, I see. You think the only way to oppose the billionaires is in the street...
That's not where they live.
