  No, what we really need is to end capitalism, not pin our hopes on one team or another when both exist to uphold the very system enabling this bullshit (hint: their agencies are never going to work for you).

    Man, fuck taking any step in the right direction eh? Let’s just hope for the entire world to change instead of hoping for a reasonable change that is a big step in the right direction.

      Ah, yes, incremental change, that's worked so well ..checks notes... never.

      Lulling the population in to a false sense of security, but more importantly - comfort, is exactly how you not only maintain the status quo, but how you enable fascism.

      But sure, to those who are privileged enough not to already be personally impacted, I'm sure voting for team blue feels like a real win.. 🙄

        Union wins weren’t inctemential change for the betterment of worker conditions…?

        You really should check the dates on all those achievements… They weren’t granted from the beginning of even the young US, nor all at once.

        No need to strawman; you already made a good point in the first half of your comment.

      I mean capitalism is literally enabling the fossil fuel industry to continue to ramp up production, while we are heading into a climate apocalypse. It’s too late for steps.
