You’re right, let me get pissed at everything that I have no real legal power to change.

Yes you absolutely should. Because when you get pissed about those things you will hopefully start to elect the right people who then HAVE the legal power to change them.

If voting didn't matter, they wouldn't work so hard to make it difficult.

The biggest and best changes have always come because the working class made it so.

Prior to universal suffrage, we had to fight and die for every small gain.

Since then, we have the luxury of just voting and protesting.

And when we look back at how much has been achieved, it's just amazing.

My personal pet peeve is that we haven't gotten around to getting tough with tax avoiders. Gotta start really heavily fining those advisors and enablers. Some probably should be jailed.

That's the key to reducing inequality, which will then make the middle class much wealthier and stronger.

See your problem is you still give a rats ass about what they tell you is and is not legal.

True but slight issue: I would get shot at.

I live in Louisiana as a communist. Doesn't stop me. The threat of violence is all the more reason we need to speak up when we can.

Either you die a slow death forced onto your knees in poverty or you stand up and die doing something about it.

All you have to lose are your chains.

Join your local SRA today!

Been saying for a while we need a new Blank Panther party for LGBT+ community, like a Pride Demons party.

Yes, get pissed. Feel that shit, but instead of just letting it get the best of you, direct that anger against our oppressors. Live in spite of them. There are small steps you can take to make change, but first just get angry so you can process this.
