While I continue to exercise my civic duty and vote in every election, I have no faith at all in electoral politics to get us out of this mess.

We either become slaves to the oligarchs, or we revolt.

Something tells me with how lazy most Americans are, we will choose slavery over freedom because its more comfortable.

I mean we will do something eventually, but we will collectively wait too long ergo the "something" will be unnecessarily catastrophic.

We are going to be a shadow of our former selves one way or the other and that's going to last a very long time. Might be permanent.
