    Crazy how some people have very strong opinions on politics but no basic understanding of how democracy works

        You want change: organize and vote. Lots of comments here that seem to view politics as a show, as if we were powerless against the events that unfold week after week. It’s only a show if you don’t care enough to participate.

          Organizing is what puts actual pressure on the system, and is what won every single major working class victory. Not just wishcasting via voting. It has been through organizing that the Civil Rights Movement passed, that chattel slavery was abolished, and more.
