Zombie Neoliberalism. Instead of brains it eats public institutions and the poor.

How can I make it clear to liberals that direct action is not only a better option than electoralism in general, but that it is increasingly the only viable option?
Like, I’m trying to formulate an argument that compares 8 years of Obama and his effect on police brutality and racism in America (fuck all? I’d actually like if somebody could point me to whatever he did do about it), vs the change from the Floyd riots (still not much, but there was the notable end of qualified immunity in Colorado, and “the discourse” around pigs shifted kinda for the better, at least more than it seemingly did under Obama).
And of course the fact that many of these recent highly publicized cases have occurred in places that already have democratic leadership.
The Floyd riots put Seattle on a path the defunding the police. We’ve already fired 100 officers, cut the chief’s pay, and dismantled the anti-homeless squad. Meanwhile, the labor council voted to kick out the police council. It’s not much, but it’s a helluva lot more than decades of liberal mayors has done.
