Pushing powerlessness? What are you doing to stop this? I'm with DSA and fighting IRL to stop this. Have you organized any protests? Have you phone banked anybody? Have you distributed literature? Have you actually gone out and talked with real human beings about what struggles they are feeling?

Not American, and yes to most of that.

The "both sides" argument is a dishonest one aimed at making people feel powerless. It can fuck right off.

Have you run for local office? That's the only thing you can do that will actually change anything.
