    I agree 100%. The system is not working in our favor and never really has.

    I don’t understand what the plan is. We don’t vote. Then what?

    The strategy up till now has been clear to me. We keep growing dual power structures, spreading information, talking, growing public opinion, voting for the lesser evil. Bernie wasn’t a complete L. He got a lot of attention and shifted the narrative a bit. Years from now, once we hit a threshold, the candidates and the conversation shift. Why is this plan no longer viable?

      What plan? Keep showing up and voting for the same guys? I know it’s crazy but we actually have a third option, we’ve just been told over and over again that it’s equal to throwing our votes away (I wonder who would benefit from that?) and if we all believe that, then of course it is.

      Bernie wins in 2016 if the DNC had the balls the back him, but they don’t because they have no incentive to run a guy like that. He’s antithetical to their platform.

      They aren’t the lesser of two evils, they’re one in the same with a different letter next to their name.
