So either burn shit in the streets, or work within the system.

It's honestly so frustrating trying to get what I'm assuming are mostly younger people to grasp this. They want it their way, or no way. Which is why a felon rapist pedophile is in control and threatening our rights and robbing us blind.

I get it, when I was younger I thought we were going to have flying cars and I thought Americans would absolutely start a revolution if a revolution was necessary.

I was wrong.

You cannot wish upon a star and a super progressive 3rd party candidate from a non-viable 3rd party magically becomes president. Reality exists. You have to operate within the confines of reality. Which means you either start a revolution (not going to happen) or you reform a party by primarying the shit stains that are holding it back, which has happened before in American history.

If you are not willing to operate within reality, you will never get anything you want, ever.
