New Jim Crow has prevented people from voting for a long time. Ask any of the people now barred from voting because they smoked a plant that's now legal and making the wealthy class a lot of money.

The American myth of democracy is a strong one, but it needs to die. Even aside from the new jim crow (which Michelle Alexander lays out much more coherently than I did above in her book), half the population doesn't vote and we are only given two choices which the half that do vote openly calls their own party evil, as in lessor of two evils, evil.

Dont even get me started on our campaigns to "spread democracy" across the world.

We havent had democracy in a long time, if ever. Its always been the rich vs the rest of us. Its time to wake up.

I heard a pitchfork is good for ONE vote but you have to deliver it yourself.
