A little birdie once told me, when our political system is gearing up to really screw us over, you'll see all sorts of diversion issues popping up. The usual suspects, gays, guns, religion, or abortion (or some combination thereof).
So Indiana passes a redneck (so called) religious freedom law, and I'm supposed to drop everything and give a crap about this baloney (which will likely be overturned the minute it hits a federal courtroom), while congress is preparing to screw over millions of American workers, through its proposed Trans Pacific Partnership legislation?
I've decided that there's only one cure for our problems in this country, get rid of democrats and republicans. As a leftist I don't consider the DNC to be part of the genuine left in this country. They fake left wing, which gives the appearance of political division, but in truth the modern DNC is just as sinister as the GOP (just in different ways).
So after three years of activism, probono civil rights legal work, and all the rest, I've decided that the only thing which makes sense, is working to elect third party candidates. Everything else is window dressing, an utter waste of time (and worse, the longer we allow two party/duopoly rule, the worse it will get for us, and the harder it will be to reverse the damage).
Thoughts?
No one party is causing this and one class the 1% is causing this. The GOP is the problem. PERIOD!
