    When did we stop doing this… I missed that message.

    Jill isn’t going to save us.

    The duopoly or no one will save us, but pushing past the status quo and fighting for basic standards does change the living conditions of the working class.

    Check out the civil rights movements.

      Check out Ralph Nader. I was there in the before times, Jimmy. I remember Florida.

        Yes, I also know of Ralph Nader, he was that one that got Healthcare as a Human Right launched into our political discussions.

        Long term goals, while continuing to fight against the status quo, just like in the civil rights movements.

          He also invented seatbelts. This is immaterial in a dangerous and consequential presidential election.

            Fearmongering will always come from the duopoly, since the status quo helps the owner-class and their profits.

            If the civil rights movements give in to fear instead of striving for a better world, the status quo in the United States would be much worse for Black Americans.

              Which magic third party candidate swooped in and pushed through the Civil Rights Act? What are you even talking about? It was JFK’s vice president, elected to his own term.
