    Why do you think voting doesn’t fix issues?

    PROTIP: it’s not because politicians are evil individuals who are, en masse, conspiring against the will of the Proletariat™

    It’s because political views in this country are fucked

    We lose mostly fair and free elections, or win them only by a hair’s breadth, because the overwhelming majority of people are not on our (leftist, socialist) side!

    It doesn’t matter what form of action you take - from voting to direct action to a fucking civil war - there is no lasting victory without solving that essential problem.

    People who insist that the trouble is just that we haven’t used the right means to force through our ideology into the government need to sit down and rethink their fucking lives.

      True

      False. Democrats are very truly captured by the same forces of influence that pollute our political views. They are “en masse,” because they basically try to preserve their individual gravy trains by a form of collusion to keep the status quo.
