If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

When we have a side that rejects the corporate bribe take and has an overt agenda to fight the capitalist profiteers in defense of the people, sure.
Until we dig ourselves out by rejecting private profit/growth/metastasis at the expense of the people at the bottom of society, nothing can improve.
Since Reagan got his former opposition party on the take, all we've been voting on is the speed of decline as good cop(D) and bad cop(R) encourage us to hate one another and be divided over the social issue symptoms of the captured economy we don't get a vote on.
I vote blue out of harm reduction. But democrats still don't give a shit about mass murder for private profit, mass homelessness, income inequality, on and on. They affirm your identity instead of scapegoating you, which is nice, but is also free for their mutual donor's quarterly profit expectations.
What good is being free to be who you are when you're dying of exposure and police brutality under a freeway for failing to produce enough value for the owners?
If there's another real presidential election, and if a democrat gets elected, we'll get four years of relative quiet but the situation will continue to grow darker as the DNC will not allow the capital markets to be reigned in, which means even if we avert this fascist march, the table will still be set for them to continue their march in four years. Wall Street must end. And it will, by our hands, or capitalist made climate change in a couple decades when it no longer matters for our species.
I think democrats do care about a lot of that issues. They just can't get any good ideas that will create bipartisan support. It's a failure of imagination and leadership. It is a failure to stand up to corporate interests. But at least the dems care. Im listening to 10 of them right now who really care. Watch the video please its important to boost media numbers and give a voice to this opposition.
