I helped organize a 600 person union, I was doing rapid response in Minneapolis, and I helped organize the Worker Assemblies in Minneapolis.

Both sides fucking suck.

The issue is the enemy is obfuscated. Like grapes of wrath... "Well who owns the banks?"

"And now the owner men grew angry. You’ll have to go. But it’s ours, the tenant men cried. No. The bank, the monster owns it. You’ll have to go. We’ll get our guns, like Grampa when the Indians came. What then? Well—first the sheriff, and then the troops. You’ll be stealing if you try to stay, you’ll be murderers if you kill to stay. The monster isn’t men, but it can make men do what it wants."

What's really fumy is people only noticing at election time what we say all the time.

how many times have you been through this. it's tiring even watching your side win. nothing big changes after, just the small stuff.

Check your liberalism at the door, it's not welcome here

What agency or power do you have in government? You are picking from a pre-approved list of would-be rulers.

Edit: and to be clear, I am not telling you not to vote, but for fucks sake stop pretending you have actually done anything until you have actually done anything. Voting is beneath the minimum for that.

Democrats are not left of center, they are not even remotely close to center. They are barely to the left, and in many cases on par, with trump

Actually no, unions had to fight liberalism for their rights, same for women, people of color and those wheelchair bound.

But also the democrats are way less bad than the republicans, saying they are equal is just siding with the republicans because why bother when both are the same. Democrats are still horrible, don't get me wrong, but it is still easier with them in power rather than republicans

Democrats intentionally kneecap themselves to prevent progress
