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.

I agree, they support shitty candidates way too much. Hence, their consistent minority. Remember when they chose that same Joe Leiberman as the VP candidate? Big brain time. I see that question all the time "what can they do?" Well, if they can't do shit, get out. Let someone else try. Support a ban on Congressional insider trading. I still say, Dems over the Magats is an easy choice. Why can't we have a choice between left and right, not right and nutter-right? The DNC platform of today is about what the GOP platform was in the 50s. That's not OK.

    Voters choose candidates in Primary Elections.

    If you think taxing the rich is right wing, then maybe it's you standing in our way rather than vice versa.
