I was one of those lucky people who took a sociology class in community college and thought socialism sounded cool as fuck. I thought the Democratic party was the closest route to achieving socialism, so I took a few years to clear out enough brain worms around the time trump was elected.

And thank God. I couldn't imagine being a pro-capitalist Democratic voter who still thinks we can buy our way out of this fucked up system.
