I think a broad Tuckerite populism is totally possible. A heartland “progressive Nationalism”. The problem is that the online Right is too spergy & combative to build coalitions, constantly throwing the opposition into briar patches
I don't think there's a solution we can vote our way into - the demands of putting together a coalition popular enough to win enough votes will always destroy a country in the long run Therefore the solution is to go past elections

What does “going past” politics look like in practice? What will be achieved by it? Very real power is lost and won by elections, that power has been used to instantiate radical, long term effects.

Real power doesn't change hands in elections - the permanent government doesn't get replaced.
