    we desperately need a workers party in this country. Bernie can’t do it alone though. what can we do?

    when will people snap and say '“enough is enough, we refuse to be poor and exploited”. when will we empower a cross racial coalition the likes of which King and Hampton were murdered to prevent?

    i just hope to see it in my lifetime… but i have my doubts.

    the future is looking bloodier by the minute.

      When they no longer have their bread and circuses. Or, in the modern day, McDonald’s and Netflix.

      2 party system has to be broken!

      The issue is, if you were to lead a 3rd party you would probably share the votes with the dems, since the coward fucks too would desperately cling to power leading to the losing the election for both parties…

        Well I think we’ve seen that it’s already broken. It was broken years or decades ago and certainly by 2016.

      We can run for office! Except we’re all busy working ourselves to death and living on shit pay. Really takes the momentum out from a lot of us–which is the point :c

    This is like when they used ‘slammed’ to mean ‘disagreed’ but by ‘paralyzed’ they mean ‘complicit’

      Complicit inasmuch as them wrongly assuming that simply sitting by and letting it all burn is going to mean an easy and assured midterm victory.

      You can’t win an election when there’s no country left.

        No I personally think they’re literally complicit. I’m not saying every single party member, but the ones who are not fighting any of this are doing it because it benifits them personally.

          Yes, I understand you think that, and I disagree with you.

          Please see the first comment of mine, and now we have a perfect circle.

    I just saw an old interview on a college campus asking millennials what they think about bernie. A couple says he needed to be a minority, other person said he needed to be a poc and woman, one said he’s too progressive, i wonder what their responses are now.

    I hope Bernie doesn’t get sent to a Trump brand Patriotic Reeducation Camp. He’s the only politician that I feel like actually cares about the common man.
