It can’t be Democrats or republicans, those both are cunts.
Need to support a new party.
Is “working families” legit?
So he wants us to beat ceos. Got it
The problem in my country is that most people are complacent and could care less to do anything about it aside from trying to overthrow the government because they had to wear masks and take a vaccine.
I know we loved the leaded solution and we won’t cry if more happens but yeah at the of the day the system will need a legal reform to properly depose the parasites.
Shootings might continue until morale improves?
My morale is already improving personally. 3 lead tablets a day keeps the insurance companies at bay. Guaranteed to get you a better rate.

We’ve had several mass movements about it over the past 15~20 years, the only thing that has worked so far is lead poisoning.
certainly if the movement is fast enough, as we’ve learned.
Say a muzzle velocity of roughly 1100 ft per second?
Sometimes it do be like that
Word is, when Bernie first saw the news of the murder, he said, “Fuck yes.”
I want to live in the timeline where things Bernie sees actually come true.
If it weren’t for Hillary and the DNC being corrupt, Bernie would have destroyed trump in 2016. I know so many people where I was living in middle America that flipped from Bernie to Trump.
I wasn’t in middle America, but experienced the same thing. I still don’t understand it. Is it just populism? If so, not good. I definitely shed friends in 2016.
It’s because Trump advocates for change. Now it’s not good change but he’s definitely not a fan of the status quo, which gets you votes when the other guy is a Democrat centrist beholden to status quo-loving corporate donors.
I would argue that the change he advocates for is in the direction of the worst parts of status quo. The unbridled capitalistic endeavors of the rich, specifically. Very different than Bernie Sanders.
That’s true, but voters who are uneducated or simply don’t care about politics will see what he’s selling and think he’s at least better than the DNC’s “why would you want change? Everything is fine” nonsense.
So it really does just boil down to populism for some folks, then? That’s hard, thanks for posing it this way.
Populism is efficient, yes. You can see that all around the world.
Populism boosted by new media (internet) vs. lobbyism striving to maintain status quo.
Alright but Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders in the Primary Elections, so the “corruption” you’re referring to is like 30 Million People.
Orly?
Yeah, vote totals were like 16 Million for Hillary Clinton and 13 Million for Bernie Sanders. Maybe if more people voted in the primaries we would see Bernie at the helm.
Yes, because of the “super” delegates which was like 20 people who can automatically outvote the other hundreds of delegates.
It was real close except for the millions more people who voted for Hillary.
Edit: sorry for the transparency making it hard to read on dark modes.
But when I say the same solution I get banned from communities for being a “coward” and “copaganda.”
I think if Bernie suggested murdering all the CEOs he’d get banned from his communities, though.
Yeah but how come CEOs never get banned anywhere for murdering all the working class Premium payers…
Hmmm
CEOs have a fiduciary duty to shareholders to produce profit. Killing customers is profitable. Can’t see where this could go wrong.
I don’t think such things have ever or will ever stop Bernie Sanders from speaking his mind.
I think they’re suggesting that the system allowed Bernie because he advocates working within it, not that he hid his beliefs to be more accepted.
Bernie can read the room. These other fuckers very much less so.
I’d step back onto the streets with Bernie at the head again. A small part of me still holds that hope from 2016.
So many fucking years ago. Ended any passion I had towards politics.
Yeah… it’s hard. If it wasn’t for my student loans I’d only have about $4000 in leftover reoccurring bills outside of the usual living expenses such as rent and utilities today. Back then I donated more to a campaign than I have donated before or since combined for anything I worked hard. Talked to everyone. Helped found a subreddit for election and voting protection through information. I even went to local watch parties.
I think we are ready for that again. Many of us would stand and fight with Bernie, Jon Stewart, AOC. Most of us who were a part of that understand why people chose to not vote for the status quo. But man, fuck, it’s tiring feeling so disjointed and at best loosely aligned.
We need a community.
Never forget Bernie’s legacy… https://youtu.be/ZlZaVtCT5HI
The others can read the room too; they’re just in an entirely different room.
In the took with CEOs?
I feel like they can just choose not to because wheres the money in that?!
Yes he can. I am happy he still has a voice.
This country needs to have a mass bowel movement and flush that shit down the drain.
Mass movement, movement of mass, close enough.
Mass movements can do lots of things, but we can’t even get a majority of people to vote…
Voting is how we got here…
Political proces and utterly captured
Otherwise we would have had Bernie 2016.
I am tired of political clowns pretending like politics is the solution, it is key part of the problem.
Did you see how politicians are reacting here.
Besides Bernie that is
Because people don’t feel represented in the current FPTP voting-system, which to be fair, was designed by wealthy romans to benefit wealthy romans.
As it turns out, you only need like around 5% of the population to start a revolution (if even that amount). Revolutions have been started with even fractions of a percent.
We can get a majority of those that do vote to vote for Trump so I am not that hopeful.
I can’t even get a plurality of people to agree that we should have a national strike.
Fuck it, i think Luigi’s method is gonna be more effective.
What’s easier, motivating hundreds of thousands of people to get out and protest, or letting a few moderately motivated people take direct action?
Not protest. Y’all need at least a general strike to have a shot at doing something. That or found/get behind a third party and kill the DNC.
You are correct but the person you are responding is more correct
