Voting will not change anything because the left-right paradigm is in reality just the 'left'. Yes, conservatives are leftists, the original leftists from the french revolution who used to be called liberals back in the day. The destination is the same and we can vote on how fast we get there. There is one political solution and it's political violence. It's way too soon, but our issues will eventually be solved by violence. Am I a fed now?

Listen to what this kid says. He hits the nail on the head.

Its not just about voting, its about welding political power. We need to BE IN POWER OF THE STATE to make lasting changes. Welding power of the State IS DEFINITELY POSSIBLE. It starts locally, by the way. We should be doing everything in our power to weld local political positions (city council, whatever). I don't understand how that's so difficult to understand.
EDIT: Using "political violence" is just a way to get put in prison or in a Federal investigation, which does NOTHING to help us.
