    Only [by] voting you can ask to elected people to change things.

    How about we replace that system with one where we don’t have to ask nicely to change things for the better?

          So, add a recall election mechanism and let everything else play out the same?

          Because most parts of the US would probably reelect the same candidate if an election was held tomorrow (literally the standard polling question).

          Renaming things doesn’t make them work better.

            No, that’s not what I said. I want to abolish rulers completely.

            Council democracy isn’t based on electoral parliament, but on general assemblies.
