Consider:

- how many people don't vote because it's a rigged sham that's setup to benefit the Property party, not the people

- how poor and how close to homelessness most average people are

- how corrupt and unaccountable the police are

- the nation with the highest incarceration rate except Seychelles, for-profit prisons, and the legal slavery loophole exploited by corporations

- a nation without a viable healthcare or mental healthcare system

- a nation that gives public commons and public services over to for-profit corporations

The revolution is that much closer because the US has been gradually becoming a banana republic failed state for at least 50 years, if not 70.

“How many people don't vote because it's a rigged sham that's setup to benefit the Property party, not the people”

If you don’t vote, you don’t have a say.

Yes, I've been saying all that, for decades.

Not that it's ever accomplished anything.

So now I basically focus on passive resistance.
