Sadly election results prove every few years, that you are the only one seeking radical change.

~30-50% want extreme conservativism/capitalism. ~20-40% want everything as-is.
~30% want mild improvements like a really low UBI.
<5% want to get rid of oligarchs.
<.1% want to eliminate suffering.

This would be of the voting populace. Which is 2/3rd.... NM I don't have the energy to explain.

Have you talked to people? They’re pretty insufferable.

I have talked to people. That's how I've found fellow socialists at work, alongside some others who are increasingly (and surprisingly) critical of capitalism and systematic issues affecting them.

Obviously culture changes from place to place, I don't know your circumstances, but I expected my workplace to be especially conservative.
