Even if you did gather enough support, are the elections in this country real?
If you did gather enough support to be an opposition or leader party, how would you deal with the corruption in the career staffers? Trump tried to face the swamp and lost.
I know those feel like "later" questions, but the truth is there is a large segment of the population who refuse to vote because they see all politicians and parties as corrupt. And I think they are not wrong.
You are right that the media controls the message, and we are basically in an oligarchy right now. They can, and will, twist, lie, smear, call you violent, lock you up, etc.
You might be successful with real stories of harm, but how will you clearly connect them to the corrupt politicians? Victimhood might not appeal to people who are exhausted by that.
