This is a horribly out of touch reading on her directly calling out the US as a settler-colonial genocidal Empire. When she says Democracy is an every day thing, she isn't talking about trying to elect "good democrats," she directly tells the reader to Get Organized!
Yes, organizing is critical, that's why she said to do so.
This is wrong on 2 fronts. The first, is the idea that successful revolutions have relied on the ruling class. This is false! From the Cuban, Chinese, Russian, Korean, to the Vietnamese, and beyond, working class revolutions have been the only truly successful revolutions. Secondly, there will never be establishment candidates symathetic to overthrowing the system they rose to power in.
Read The State and Revolution. The bourgeois state cannot be overthrown from above, it must be smashed from below.
