    Yea she sounded annoyed and frustrated with politics she sounded like she wanted something change but felt like she had absolutely no outlet for it in any political party what so ever.

    Look I get that people don’t see any point in the American electoral system and that voting seems beyond hopeless, but for me personally expecting the American people to rise up in a people’s protracted war against the US government seems a bigger stretch than trying to get people like that lady into one room with Marxists/Leftists of any kind who can maybe help and address her concerns.

    For people into peoples protracted war the US Army sure as hell could use some reforming if not a complete restructuring and thinking about what a socialist army could look like would be fun.

    But fuck idk why I even care I’m not involved in organising in politics and not in the US

      honestly the actual rising up is usually done by a minority. even then knowing the truth and being a good person can count as a way of rising up. sometimes you don’t need to be a full time activist.

      people just need to not be actively misinformed. we tend to focus on the overt shitty fascists but most people just want to find a solution for their problems and are tired of being lied to. most people tend to be actually good people, the few shitty ones are the ones ruining it all for the rest of us.
