Reps: we will crap on the working class

Dems: we will crap on the working class ✨

Leftists: The Dems don't actually help the working class, both parties derive their power and legitimacy from their donors, wealthy Capitalists. They function as businesses that sell policy to the highest bidder. We need a revolution in order for the people to have a real say.

Liberals: Shut up, tankie!

"no, I don't want slow progress, I'd rather have no progress at all"

"what do you mean voting is just a tiny part of making the world a better place, it is completely useless"

how has slow progress worked for you in the last hundred years

6 weeks paid holiday, compensation days for longer work week, protection from unfair dismissal, free health care, 3 months maternity/1 month paternity leave....

Not saying that there's nothing left to do, but over the last 100 years things have definitely gotten better.

The real risk is forgetting that these things were hard won and that if you give people a chance they can easily be lost again.

Most of these were won by leftists fighting on the streets and in the factories, not by centrists.
