Everything always get so serious. Thought this could be a fun experiment to discuss a serious issue in a non-serious way.

    To me the right has become mostly a meme

    Blocking political process is now the main theme

    The SCOTUS taking bribes left and right

    Gerrymandering going on day and night

    Most democrats have the appeal of The Simpsons’ Flanders

    He’s getting pretty old but I like Bernie Sanders

    The rich get richer / The poor get poorer / When our time comes / No guilt for the horror

    or maybe

    The planet is burning / We die of starvation / Abolish the wealthy / And claim our salvation

    or maybe

    One, two, buckle my shoe / Three, four, overthrow the 1% and bring about a socialist utopia, etc

    All I see is a major shitshow

    I can’t keep up with all the garbage they throw

    None of our problems ever get fixed

    Because we can’t even agree they exist!

    The future’s in the hands of those who won’t live to see it

    The house is burning down but they won’t believe it

    Everything’s fucked, it’s all just a mess

    I suppose I’ll just vote for who hates minorities less

    I really don't care
    It's neither here nor there
    I live alone in the woods
    My biggest worry is bear
    And his economic stance on my foods

    Capitalism has become such a bore Wish waged labor existed no more I’d rather pay taxes Take billionaires assets And distribute some wealth to the poor

    Anarchism is the way, workers only you should pay.

    The rich and wealthy we should eat, nutrition shouldn’t be sourced from meat.

    The picture is crooked by just enough
    That you’d need a level to tell.
    Every adjustment skews it a little bit more
    This is starting to feel just like hell.
    If it’s low on the left, now it’s high on the right,
    Or it could be the other way around.
    If we can’t seem to find a way to agree,
    Maybe the piece should just come down.
    But we like it’s aesthetic, that much is a fact,
    Though we can’t really explain why.
    One thing is for certain, we want it displayed,
    We just both feel it has fallen awry.
    So I’ll push, and you’ll pull, and we’ll stand back and sneer
    At the other’s well-meant intentions
    As it goes from one extreme to the next
    While neither of us pays much attention,
    To the fact that the picture itself is what really matters,
    Not how it sits on a line.
    The whole Earth is slanted on its own axis,
    And even beauty is crooked sometimes.

    I always watch sadly
    Those giving their vote
    To people who’d gladly
    Cut open their throat.

    They follow their hate,
    They don’t spot the lies.
    Rich man owns the state,
    Rich man’s gaining weight,
    The poor one just dies.

    Edit: changed a line

    The simple narrative taught in every history class Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist Don’t you know the world is built with blood? And genocide and exploitation The global network of capital essentially functions To separate the worker from the means of production And the FBI killed Martin Luther King Private property’s inherently theft And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left And every politician, every cop on the street Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite

    (Bo Burnham - How the World Works)

    People dislike the present

    Yet always vote Blue or Red

    I only vote independent

    And people still blame me for who led

    Like tectonic plates, growing apart

    With Xitter and Facebook neatly doing their part

    The legislature doesn’t really care about me

    They get there money and healthcare for free

    Meanwhile, we suffer from this polarization

    Not just the US, but almost every nation

    War, corruption and global warming give me a hopeless feeling

    Almost on a daily basis, reading news leaves me reeling

    Am I just a pessimist or will we really fail?

    Are we watching the apocalypse in slow motion while wagging our tail
