The high ground is where we point out the government's failures that prevent the majority of folks to share the pie with the rich folks. The low ground is where we storm the offices of government, rid ourselves of the fascists, aka Republicans, and reassemble what’s left of our democracy. I’m beginning to lean toward the latter.
Prophecy ("point out the government's failures") has always been an important function in societies. But it was always combined with action, although maybe not as vivid as "stornm[ing] the offices of government." Our government was explicitly build on the idea that the people could change the government through elections. We'll see if that's still the case going forward.
Of course, I hope the electoral process succeeds. But when elections are based on laws and when laws are changed or ignored, then we're playing in a different ballpark.
