    It’s simple there is no reason to work and there’s enough of us to say “fuck it” and march to change our system but none of us can organise a piss up in a brewery to save our lives.

    We have working class people on their knees to the capitalists saying “yes master anything master”

    We have socialists who prefer to talk about socialist philosophy instead of action, we have socialists who want bottom up socialism and others who want top down socialism

    We have other people on the left that wants to keep the abusive system in place and we have the rest of the working class who don’t care about anything.

    The problem is literally capitalism

      Yep. And the people in charge know exactly what to do to divide us along racial / religious / political / etc. lines, and both parties are in on it. They know exactly what buttons to push so that the voting populace is divided 50 / 50 and can’t unite to do stuff like make the economy fairer or save the environment.

      Every time people start getting more socially liberal, the Democrats move further to the left, and every time their base gets comfortable with how extreme they’re getting, Republicans move further to the right. The two party system is against reforms like ranked choice voting (which thankfully seems to slowly be getting progress) because they’re not in the business of helping us, they’re in the business of constantly “fighting” each other to look like they’re doing something, when the real goal is to maintain the status quo or make it worse for us.
