This much is true, but leftist ideas have been intentionally made taboo since the Cold War/Red Scare. Average Americans recognize their quality of life decreasing but would rather vote in a strong-man than address capitalism itself. Unfortunately, this country is closer to authoritarianism than it is to prioritizing the well-being of its citizens.
During the election, it was the wrong time to criticize democrats. Now the election has passed and it is still the wrong time to criticize democrats. When are we supposed to remark on our lack of a voice in the two-party system?
I also criticize Republicans on here but that is preaching to the choir. The more that I read about the history of this country and the present-day agenda of furthering the privileges of the wealthy, the harder it is to care about your party's unity.
...And so it isn't happening?
Posting a meme is not activism. But you would be mistaken to assume my political engagement ends there.
