    We have two parties that are shifting to the right and prioritize the rich at every turn. And yet, somehow, we’re supposed to keep pretending that voting is going to fix anything in this country.

    Voting is a bandaid and we’re bleeding out at this point.

      Well, you shouldn’t just be voting. You should also be campaigning, researching, and even running for election yourself

      The reason why we keep moving to the right is because people on the left are not voting. The right controls all three branches of government because of the way the country voted, why would the left move away from where they think the votes are being cast?

        This is a conscious decision on the part of the two major parties to move the Overton window to benefit their wealthy backers, not savvy politicians “responding to market conditions”.
