    It doesn’t matter how you vote, but there are other things you can do. Organize your workplace and community. Most of our rights were gained through strikes and other direct action. We didn’t vote in the 8 hour work week.

        I’m saying it’s not that important who runs the government, because the rich, the MIC, and the oil industry are in charge regardless. The only way positive change happens is if a bunch of us band together and physically force it to happen. They already have the elections gamed out, we’ve been voting for the lesser evil since Nixon, since before Nixon, and look where that has brought us.

            Frankly, if anyone wants violence, it should be you. If you truly believe we are headed toward a one-party dictatorship under Trump, and you oppose violence to stop that, I don’t know what to tell you. On the Fourth of July of all days. If you’re so certain that you’re willing to vote for a genocide, the worst thing you can possibly vote for, but violence against Trump is too far, I don’t know what to say.
