The capitalist class will ceaselessly and tirelessly work to roll back measures that benefit the working class. This is just the reality of the current economic system, and why the social democrat worldview of "working with the system instead of against it" is fundamentally flawed, even if good-spirited

Let's be realistic. This will not stop under capitalism. Any company that doesn't exploit their users and employees for the most amount of profit will get outcompeted and driven out of the market by a different company that does.

Thinking communism is not democratic means capitalist propaganda got to you. Communism is completely community driven (how else would workers own the means of production?) and built on consensus and direct democracy

You don't make third parties viable by voting for them, though. You do so by pushing for electoral reform and systems like score voting, proportional representation, or MP

Nothing will change if the only thing you do is vote.

Apathy isn't revolutionary. We must fully support leftist candidates while also being critical of their platform and aware that electoral politics inside a capitalist system will only get us so far. But never losing hope that more people see the light and become class conscious.

You might want to switch to CoMaps. Most developers fled there after the owners of Organic Maps showed shady behaviour regarding donations and the future of the project
