As a leftist American, you’re right. There’s a simply incredible amount of the population who refuse to participate in politics at all, then another huge swathe who gets all their news from social media or a single source which never gives the whole picture. I’ve protested, I’ve written my leadership, I’ve changed family and friends to the side of sanity but it feels like there’s just no winning like this. I’m ready for a general strike, to stop paying federal taxes but it’s all self harming if done alone. Our leaders have failed us basically across the board and I’m hoping that they’ve fucked up enough in the eyes of the general public so there’s a correction and we can get this country far more socialized and kick corporations off welfare.
