we desperately need a workers party in this country. Bernie can't do it alone though. what can we do?

when will people snap and say '"enough is enough, we refuse to be poor and exploited". when will we empower a cross racial coalition the likes of which King and Hampton were murdered to prevent?

i just hope to see it in my lifetime.... but i have my doubts.

the future is looking bloodier by the minute.

When they no longer have their bread and circuses. Or, in the modern day, McDonald's and Netflix.

2 party system has to be broken!

The issue is, if you were to lead a 3rd party you would probably share the votes with the dems, since the coward fucks too would desperately cling to power leading to the losing the election for both parties…

We have a few options at our disposal:

  1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will make the coming months much more bearable, and lay the ground work for effective resistance.
  2. We can still effect things drastically with a general strike. This massively impacts their income streams, and can bring the country to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
  3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective.

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Don't become paralyzed with doubt and fear, march on and push as much you can. Together we're strong, separated we are weak. So join up with allies while we still can easily!

We can run for office! Except we're all busy working ourselves to death and living on shit pay. Really takes the momentum out from a lot of us--which is the point :c
