But the rest of the world? We could elect people changing the system and there is nothing the 2k people could do

Lol. Lmao, even. No, you cannot.

what we need to do is change the companies and the way to do that is legislation

Will never happen in bourgeois dictatorships. You have to wrest their control via force.

Sure you can, happened many times in history. US independence, French Revolution, suffrage movement, civil rights movement. Elect radicals and they will change the system. But only if people wanted change, which they don’t.

People that want to get rid of billionaires, corporations in politics and people getting fairly represented are the minority. The majority want a wall on the border with Mexico, arming teachers or abortion rights and lgbtq rights etc. That’s what they care about. Highly controversial topics that ultimately change nothing about how the show is run.

These were none via election, this was done through mass popular struggle.

You'd be surprised, but even then trends are changing as Capitalism declines and dies.
