      Well what else are Americans gonna do? It doesn’t matter how bad you treat them, they just keep rolling over. They haven’t increased the minimum wage there for over a decade and people just don’t care.

        People do care, but the state doesn’t reflect the will of the people, but the will of the ruling class. In the US Empire, that’s the capitalist class. People will not get change by voting, but by organizinf.

          Any reason not to do both? Democrats are bad, but Republicans are obviously worse.

            If people actually organize, I don’t care if they vote or not. If someone’s only political engagement is via voting, then they’re doing little to nothing.
