    Because the rich are smart enough to keep the working class divided and fighting between themselves, never realizing who the real enemy is causing all their pain.

    Because what we can do to destroy them is called a crime, while what they can do to destroy us is called capitalism

    Because the rich aren’t the problem. Class is. Class consciousness is the solution.

    Such a non-actionable meme.

    How about this: You have to go vote for the better of the two parties, because they are substantially different and one does have a history of policy and legislation supporting labor, education, access to health care, equity, and the environment.

    Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. What’s their goal?

      You have to go vote for the better of the two parties, because they are substantially different

      South Park was a bit ahead of the curve, but they put it quite well: you’re voting between a giant douche and a turd sandwich. Neither of them are what you want, but you’re stuck picking one of them.

      While the current Democratic Party is still leagues ahead of the Republican Party, they’re not a party that actually cares about the layman either. They spent the last election trying to court conservatives, they refuse to act as an opposition party to Republicans, and the leadership keeps fucking over progressives.

      What we need is to throw away the winner-takes-all voting system that created a two-party system where neither party has to care about representing their voters. First past the post crushes any chance of a real opposition party from being successful, and both Republicans and Democrats benefit from that.

      Voting for the lesser evil is a moral obligation, but don’t forget that you’re still voting for an evil.
