I never hear people on the right say oh people will never vote for this or that or oh the system is too fucked up it’ll never happen; they see what they want and say ok let’s go make it happen. 1/3

A problem on the left is all the social approval given to cynicism & despair. I understand why people are depressed & angry about the oligarchy, but every time we talk about it like it’s an insurmountable problem we give it power. That’s exactly what they want you to think. 2/3

The gun issue is a perfect example. Like healthcare & climate change it’s an example of corporate power tyrannizing us yes. But negativity about our prospects is not the answer. If enough of us say we’re going to change things and we’re not going to stop until we do, we will. 3/3

I feel the same way! It’s similar to when people say voting independent is always a waste of a vote but maybe if we started with our smaller local elections that could slowly change.

The main factor fueling my own cynicism is that the worst and most shitty pernicious resistance to change is the god damned democratic party itself. If it were not for the corrupt bullshit of our 80yo "leaders" we would have already fixed many things.

Perhaps if the Dems ever showed some spine, about anything that WASN'T the MIC & the 1% (you know, the oligarchy?) people would have more faith that they will do something about the oligarchy.

Cynicism is being bred into us by the boomer generation and their giant wrecking ball politics. If you want to be part of America’s future, build up Chris Smalls instead of yourself.
