    It’s because they have us right where they want us as wage slaves, scraping by to maintain your lifestyle picking up a second job so you can afford higher prices of food and the cheapest health insurance. It’s hard to look around when you’re just trying to make ends meet for your family.

      Unfortunately, things will only get progressively worse if nothing is done. I hope you guys figure it out, but even if you don’t, the collapse of the US is enough for the rest of the world.

      Lazy lazy bullshit talk.

      You are doing nothing because youve got too much lifestyle you dont wanna loose. And the only thing you seem to care about is “yOuR fAmIlY”

        Yeah, most people do tend to care about their family? Was that supposed to be some gotcha?

      I guess the best thing to do is join a union, and make sure to always make use of your opportunity to vote.

          You will need to compromise. Not voting means your vote goes to the politicians and parties you LEAST agree with (that’s simple math). So pick the party you least disagree with, and VOTE.

            Not voting does not give your vote to anyone. It gives your vote to the “did not vote” column, the current undefeated champion of us elections. Do you libs even hear yourselves?

              Liberals dont need to hear anything. They have the voting public under the lock and key of First past the post voting. No matter the gas lighting they can muster, these chains are not democracy.

              There is no need to post electoral reform videos, that time has passed.

                As someone with some decent math education, I’d love to see you explain this. The word math is not a magic incantation you can invoke to automatically be right.

                Then fuck off with the vote blue no matter who bullshit
