To me the right has become mostly a meme

Blocking political process is now the main theme

The SCOTUS taking bribes left and right

Gerrymandering going on day and night

Most democrats have the appeal of The Simpsons’ Flanders

He’s getting pretty old but I like Bernie Sanders

Nazis are back and the climate is spent.

I'd love to step up, but I gotta pay rent.

The rich get richer / The poor get poorer / When our time comes / No guilt for the horror

or maybe

The planet is burning / We die of starvation / Abolish the wealthy / And claim our salvation

or maybe

One, two, buckle my shoe / Three, four, overthrow the 1% and bring about a socialist utopia, etc

All I see is a major shitshow

I can't keep up with all the garbage they throw

None of our problems ever get fixed

Because we can't even agree they exist!

The future's in the hands of those who won't live to see it

The house is burning down but they won't believe it

Everything's fucked, it's all just a mess

I suppose I'll just vote for who hates minorities less

Capitalism has become such a bore Wish waged labor existed no more I’d rather pay taxes Take billionaires assets And distribute some wealth to the poor

I really don't care
It's neither here nor there
I live alone in the woods
My biggest worry is bear
And his economic stance on my foods

Anarchism is the way, workers only you should pay.

The rich and wealthy we should eat, nutrition shouldn't be sourced from meat.

Healthcare is a universal right Let’s start with that then move on to the next fight

Roses are red Violets are blue The worlds gonna end Before I turn 52

Newlines are real tough.
Two spaces and the end make it rough.

Hit enter twice

For space extra nice.

Banana.

The simple narrative taught in every history class Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist Don't you know the world is built with blood? And genocide and exploitation The global network of capital essentially functions To separate the worker from the means of production And the FBI killed Martin Luther King Private property's inherently theft And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left And every politician, every cop on the street Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite

(Bo Burnham - How the World Works)

The picture is crooked by just enough
That you'd need a level to tell.
Every adjustment skews it a little bit more
This is starting to feel just like hell.
If it's low on the left, now it's high on the right,
Or it could be the other way around.
If we can't seem to find a way to agree,
Maybe the piece should just come down.
But we like it's aesthetic, that much is a fact,
Though we can't really explain why.
One thing is for certain, we want it displayed,
We just both feel it has fallen awry.
So I'll push, and you'll pull, and we'll stand back and sneer
At the other's well-meant intentions
As it goes from one extreme to the next
While neither of us pays much attention,
To the fact that the picture itself is what really matters,
Not how it sits on a line.
The whole Earth is slanted on its own axis,
And even beauty is crooked sometimes.

I always watch sadly
Those giving their vote
To people who'd gladly
Cut open their throat.

They follow their hate,
They don't spot the lies.
Rich man owns the state,
Rich man's gaining weight,
The poor one just dies.

Edit: changed a line

People dislike the present

Yet always vote Blue or Red

I only vote independent

And people still blame me for who led

Everything is fucked and burning,
Yet the wheels of greed keep turning,
Big wigs buy their thirteenth yacht,
While 'twixt twelve we share a hut,
This just leaves me with one thing:
"Chop, chop" goes the guillotine.

Like tectonic plates, growing apart

With Xitter and Facebook neatly doing their part

The legislature doesn’t really care about me

They get there money and healthcare for free

Meanwhile, we suffer from this polarization

Not just the US, but almost every nation

War, corruption and global warming give me a hopeless feeling

Almost on a daily basis, reading news leaves me reeling

Am I just a pessimist or will we really fail?

Are we watching the apocalypse in slow motion while wagging our tail

I originally wrote this for !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works but it works pretty good for me too:

NATO Astronaut 1: It never gets old, huh?

NATO Astronaut 2: Nope.

Astronaut 1: It kinda makes you want to...

Astronaut 2: Break into a song?

Astronaut 1: Yep.

I love the trenches,

I love the roadside mines,

I love blown bridges,

I love when turrets fly.

I love the whole world

And all its sights and sounds.

Boom-de-yah-da, boom-de-yah-da (twice)

I love my plane-fus,

I love nuke submarines,

I love logistics,

I love democracy!

I love the whole world

And all its craziness

Boom-de-yah-da, boom-de-yah-da (twice)

I love dictators

(I like to watch em hang)

I love Three Gorges

I love when things go bang!

I love the whole world

It's such a brilliant place

Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da (repeating until fade)

Hypocrisy is rampant, my last nerves are plucked.

Both parties with grifters. Our system is fucked.

Mentalities of greed: I got mine, fuck you.

Just toxic words, the politicians spew.

No true efforts in fixing our country,

Their only interests are control and money.

Our country is in deep need of healing,

Putting out the emotional flames we are feeling.

Hoping the people can come together,

To make our future brighter and better.

Slavery is real, racism is too

But look outside America, you'll see it times 2

There are so many politics issues

That I would be here all day

So if you want to know what mine are

Treat this comment as an AMA

Roses are red

Landlords are poo

The Maoist uprising against the landlords was the most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, leading to almost totally equal redistribution of the land amongst the peasantry

I yearn to be free

To plant a tall tree

Or maybe five or fifty

A greener world would be nifty

/

Power corrupts

So why should we bother

With coups so abrupt

And Dictator Father?

/

Yet democracy still

Gives me a chill

Tyranny of the masses

Why the rose colored glasses?

/

Corporate greed

Is not immune

From society's bleed

Into authoritarian noon

/

So what, then? A king?

Or anarchy's kiss?

How do we give up the bling?

Live a life full of bliss?

/

The truth lies inside

The life we observe

Is the one that we chose

And thus, what we deserve

/

If we want to be free

Change from a few's not enough

Not just a million and three

But collectively, all of us

There was a young man from Bluff,
Who quite frankly had enough.

Feeling sick through,
With with interchangable red/blue.

With research in hand,
And policy that's not bland.

This time with great zeal,
This time I'll vote the colour teal.

Ever since I have been married with kids

My days are too short for me to give a shit

I am a citizen of neither here or there Don’t really belong anywhere

Don’t support any party It seems foolhardy

I believe in a man who rose from the dead So I waste my life for that instead

If you wish create a good society, It cannot be run by the bourgeoisie. Nor can be trusted a Stalin or Mao Who call all their genocides justice somehow.

Amidst a tapestry of hopes and dreams, Where human welfare's more than it seems, Views intertwine, a chorus of care, For freedoms cherished, we stand aware.

Union's strength empowers the throng, In solidarity, we all belong, Fascism's shadow we firmly reject, For liberty's flame, we protect.

Capital's grasp, we dare to defy, Corporate greed, to the wind we'll let fly, Oligarchs and the 1% fade from might, Inequality's chains, we aim to unbind.

Eyes cast beyond, where spying's unveiled, Privacy's sanctuary, ever hailed, A symphony rises, the people unite, For a world of justice, we strive for the light.

I don't really care
where the money go
even though you've said
that I should have known.

I'm interested in
mechanism of vote
it's my nerdy thing
just let me enjoy't.

Let's use Condorcet,
not FPTP,
even two-round set
is pretty shitty.

'lectoral treshold
I want it to cease
so that we could vote
for minor parties.

Last year you could see
it has real effect
I would be happier
without this deffect.

Down with states and stature
Strive instead to ready
Through direct radical action
Root changes grow fruitful
Refreshed from old ashes
Our society rises
We sow personal power
To free all the people
