It’s just annoying that there’s no real leftists to vote for in a country where we let money control elections (cf. Citizens United decision). I might have a “vote” but it doesn’t feel like I get any say when the election is between bourgeois parties.

Obviously not voting and voting for the actual fascists are bad options, but just voting for the liberals isn’t great either. What do y’all think?

    I’m sorry, my sports team? My only plans are to bring my wife out of there over to my side of the border, and maybe sponsor my in-laws to make a trip should they have the courage to make a change. You want something out of the dems? Put a real leftist in charge.

      Imagine looking at the past 200 years and still believing this fairytale nonsense.

      Put a real leftist in charge.

      Even moderate social democrats like Bernie Sanders are not allowed to run for president. For the crime of running on the platform of single payer healthcare system he was ratfucked by DNC. Any “real leftist” does not stand a chance in this system.

      When asked what a real leftist is, you’d probably just say Bernie Sanders… Real leftism is when you bomb Yugoslavia it seems. The “international community” counts Bernie as one of its senior members 🤡
