And yet they say the left is radical. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

who is they? the cunts in power?

the truth is nobody believes them. Yeah Trump people believe him and some Dem voters believe them but we all overall don't trust "them"

Just keep hammering the Us vs Them in the right tone. Trump voters are disenfranchised workers, they just need education and de-indoctrination

The non-existent left. America is full of right wingers, and far right wingers. The closest we have is the Bern, and he’s still for Capitalism.

Don’t like how the current government is working? Run to oppose them; get elected and make change to the laws. Or get murdered for doing your civic duty.

Welcome to America.

You forgot "have the Democratic party overrule your democratic victory."
