Things have gotten so bad in America that they no longer view voting and protesting as a viable way to achieve change in the system. As a result, more and more of them are calling for a revolution—and not all of them think peace is an option. In this video, we’ll discuss how declining material conditions, the collapse of the state, and rise of fascist authoritarianism has led to a conversation about the need to rise up and overthrow the system.

We've had lots of arguments in the past. You don't exactly appear like a Tankie, but you're definitely not a supporter of the DNC and you recently made a joke about poisoning strangers with a package that sprays Urushiol .

Wait a second here. You're actually a supporter of the DNC? Really? Holy shit.

The DNC platform:

Tax the Rich

Ban PACs

Public Option healthcare identical to Germany's

Protect the Environment

Ban discrimination

Antimonopoly enforcement

That's the platform on paper. Whew is any of it. They never even tried to do any of it when they controlled all branches of government.

They get the same corporate donations as the GOP, and those are the same investors they run to constantly. The only reason they even exist is as a lesser of two evils in the useless FPTP election system the US uses.

There is no way you made it here without seeing my other response to a nearly identical reply.
