    The vast majority of Americans didn’t vote for this. Two thirds of us didnt vote for this. If you think this is the voters’ fault, you dont understand the world very well, my friend.

      America has a two party system where both parties are controlled by capitalists and the entire system is designed to keep the populous divided and distracted so that the capitalists can continue to extract wealth. In such a system, participation itself is the moral choice, not the choice between one side or the other.

      Voters give legitimacy to the false dichotomy that capitalists present us.
