Not enough time or energy to respond to as much of this as I'd like, but 1 or 2 quick things.
First, I think it's both right v left and up v down. The various awful things we currently see on the right (usually) such as racism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc, were around from the start of this country. The class warfare, though around quite a while as well, just decided to fully exploit the culture issues about 40-50 years ago when women gained rights, and Reagan started the push to eliminate the middle class in earnest.
As to the voting, while traditionally, we haven't done well with turnout, it's been better lately, though, the interference and cheating by the right has substantially increased as well, from voter suppression efforts to Musk and Putin manipulation of the vote totals back in November.
We still have a long way to go, provided we find our way out of current mess.

It IS the system and its called End Capitalism.
Your brainwashed minds view social democracy as communism. But it's now or never fools. Revolution beckons.
