It's always just "wait till the next election" or "contact your local representatives"

2018-03-18 20:40:38 UTC  

Yet we still lost net neutrality

2018-03-18 20:41:05 UTC  

That was tragic for you

2018-03-18 20:41:11 UTC  

I was actually so sad for you guys

2018-03-18 20:41:23 UTC  

First the Paris Climate Agreement and then Net Neutrality

2018-03-18 20:41:27 UTC  

disaster.

2018-03-18 20:46:23 UTC  

Direct action gets the goods. What change has come from a petition alone?

2018-03-18 20:50:05 UTC  

There is no direct action over here

2018-03-18 20:50:36 UTC  

I'd argue strike action is direct action...

2018-03-18 20:50:49 UTC  

Well little too none

2018-03-18 20:51:28 UTC  

Well, same in most English speaking countries. The lack of an explicit labor/social democratic party is also a hinderence.

2018-03-18 20:52:53 UTC  

English speaking countries have those.

2018-03-18 20:53:02 UTC  

The USA doesn't.

2018-03-18 20:53:15 UTC  

The exception, not the rule.

2018-03-18 20:53:15 UTC  

Help

2018-03-18 20:53:47 UTC  

Hi gays

2018-03-18 20:53:53 UTC  

Hey GURL!

2018-03-18 20:54:15 UTC  

Hey

2018-03-18 20:54:20 UTC  

Sex

2018-03-18 20:54:22 UTC  

How are you?

2018-03-18 20:54:22 UTC  

True, @Suleiman but in the USA, it's a bit of a hinderence not having one - the Dems aren't a substitute

2018-03-18 20:54:33 UTC  

darn

2018-03-18 20:54:41 UTC  

fabulous :c

2018-03-18 20:54:45 UTC  

The dems are garbage

2018-03-18 20:55:49 UTC  

Indeed. It's like trying to get the Lib Dems in the UK to be a workers' party. Ain't gonna happen.

2018-03-18 20:56:13 UTC  

No, its like the Republicans are UKIP and the Conservatives are the Democrats.

2018-03-18 20:56:18 UTC  

Workers' rights is the elite's stand-up comedy.

2018-03-18 20:56:20 UTC  

Somehow the republicans have become the "worker's" party

2018-03-18 20:56:29 UTC  

I don't even get how that happened

2018-03-18 20:56:47 UTC  

They aren't, the US citizens were just sold a lie and they ate it up.

2018-03-18 20:56:58 UTC  

Wealthy people always want to control the narrative of the working class...as if they're speaking for us.

2018-03-18 20:57:13 UTC  

The working class, in reality, are the people.

2018-03-18 20:57:19 UTC  

The majority.

2018-03-18 20:57:24 UTC  

@buyXRBpls The unions aren't affiliated to the Republicans, so while they might claim to speak for workers, it's nowhere near a workers' party like Labour in the UK or the SPD in Germany.

2018-03-18 20:57:39 UTC  

The wealthy, the non-majority, will continue to control and bottleneck the people.

2018-03-18 20:57:43 UTC  

The problem is there aren't major unions

2018-03-18 20:58:00 UTC  

Yes, because the wealthy consider them to be less lucrative.

2018-03-18 20:58:20 UTC  

When government sides with the wealthy, who will side with the people?

2018-03-18 20:58:26 UTC  

And the dems rarely appeal to working class or give strategy
