Gotta move to direct voting.

Historians and artists have been trying to tell us this for years.

We didn't listen, but we liked their work.

is because of the greedy and entitled ANC run government.

That government has a constituency that keeps them in power.

Direct voting would help even more.

It might actually solve the problem of oligarch rule and put power back into the hands of the people.

We can see why nobody is mentioning it now.

Stop voting for politicians who support the 2 party system.

Start supporting policies that do away with "representative" democracy altogether.

Move to direct voting.

Laugh at previous generations for not figuring it out sooner.

The difference is that neo-liberals stop getting angry when a D is in office.

That's it.

If we do vote for them, we lose.

"Make America Great Again" has always been a slogan for making rich Americans richer while poor Americans are distracted by the culture war.

This might sound weird, but I honestly think there's now an opportunity for the Left to take the slogan as their own. There could be blue MAGA hats instead of red ones, acknowledging that America has truly fallen and needs to be resuscitated.

Lol. I actually support this.

It'll be worse for Canadians, but better for the US and therefore the world as a whole.

I mean, imagine how all those Canadian voters can affect Congress.

Sad. Really wish the US would lift their sanctions and actually play fair with communist nations.

If communism is so bad, they should fail on their own without heavy-handed tactics by the US.

My support goes out to all Cubans still fighting the capitalist beast.

The US is threatening to invade a democratic nation and nobody seems to care.

I mean, we're here discussing why it's wrong.
