    Yeah, we know. We’re very well aware.

    Honestly this is the first article I’ve seen from a major outlet actually saying it outright instead of pretending the people and workers are the problem. Now what the fuck are we going to do about it?

        Elections won’t fix this and we all know it

          Real change in America has never come from elections. It starts with direct action, and the direct action continues until it’s so much of a problem the government is forced to do something.

            Correct. Of course we should STILL vote, because voting can create favorable conditions for more effective direct action, but it’s no the solution in and of itself

            But elections do determine the ratio of beatings to helpful legislation that occurs when government is forced to do something.

      Well that’s the problem, as an individual you can’t. Just like saving the planet.

      You can do your “bit” but you’ll have no real effect
