I will not be silent just because the least awful option has already been chosen for me.

Frankly, the system isn't working for the working class. Trusting it to start working at some point in the future is increasingly foolish. We need systemic change and it's about time we start taking it, instead of asking politely. Organize your workplace. Make demands for healthcare and childcare.

The writing is on the wall, they won't stop until we don't have a penny to ourselves. If we're going to end up in poverty then let's fucking take them down with us.

As long as you understand what consequences your words have.

Lol. Are you taking it? Or are you just trying to get others to do the work for you?

Want to see change? Campaign for progressive candidates at the local and state level. Primary moderates in the Demoratic party. Or, you know, complain on Lemmy while making more non-fascist voters apathetic.

Biden has actually been pretty great considering the limited power he has. I'm absolutely concerned about his age, but I don't think we can get a better president than his first term without shaking up Congress.
