    Show me a third option. If there’s beef and chicken on the menu, you can’t get a Mercedes.

    All those people out in the street protesting for civil rights, fighting the Pinkertons, and refusing to work like inmates? they fucking voted. They got their people into office, and those people fixed the laws.

      They didn’t get those things by voting, they got them by showing the powers that be that people united can do anything. The DNC exists to channel that energy into something harmless to the existsing power structures. The system is broken and everyone knows it but the most policy wonked liberals. Trump won because he at least understands that people are fed up with neoliberalism. At a certain point people would rather torch the prison than spend another day inside.

      Your obviously not ready for the third option. It’s big and scary and probably will hurt a little. Kinda like getting a rotten tooth pulled. But enjoy your MacDonalds and reality TV, while the planet boils.
