Both parties should collapse, and I'm all for a party who represents the people. Sorry I'm too woke to support the major parties but not woke enough to have already created a party with 8+ figures in supporters

Are you woke enough to stop acting like you've figured out something none of the rest of us have?

1. Figure out both major parties are ****ty.
2. ?????
3. Disruptive party for the people ends the dominance of the Republicans and Democrats

Everyone knows 1, but no one has figured out 2 yet. Until that time, the majority of us have chosen to attempt to persuade the current system in a way as beneficial as possible rather than taking our ball and going home and then laughing at everyone else for not being as enlightened as we are for essentially doing nothing.

So should we all do nothing? If we all do nothing, what is likely to change?

Or should we do something? What do you suggest that something be?

DNC conspires to pit Hillary vs Trump and I'm being criticized for taking my ball and going home, for not voting for Hillary Clinton, lol. Realize who actually was completely okay with the chances of a Trump presidency, and remind me why anyone should support them.

Jesus Christ, I knew Bannon was a bad dude but didn't know what made him tick. Like if you asked me whether he was for or against abortion, I couldn't have really told you for sure.

Turns out he is a religious zealot far to the right of even your typical Republican. He strongly believes we need a modern day Crusade:

You just got brainwashed by Russian propaganda to hand the White House to a modern day Crusader, and you act like YOU are the woke one? You are a joke.

Thought it was indisputable that the DNC wanted Hillary to be their candidate and for a pied piper/extreme right winger to be the GOPs candidate. The emails reflect this.

I know it's all in the game but didn't think it was a controversial point that the elites were willing to sacrifice a little Trump equity to increase their own equity.

Funny how WOKE people think that implementing a strategy to win an election = hacking private information and then taking quotes out of context to manipulate another country's election.

2016, the year that false equivalency destroyed the world.

I suggest we start by rejecting/not supporting the Democratic party and talk to the more populist/unentrenched politicians as well as influential great minds about solutions for the future.

You WOKERS are driving me insane. Of course someone in April 2015 would think that all the dumbass **** that Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and Ben Carson were saying would be toxic to the Republican brand and try to draw attention to them so that they could win the general.

But what powers do you think the DNC exactly have that made dumbass Rs across America nominate him? They don't have any special powers to make dumbasses hear all the toxic **** coming out of his mouth and say hmmmmmm that sounds like a good idea. Voters did that all on their own.

Manipulating another country's election? THE HORROR. The USA would totally never do that, I mean, omg it's so wrong and scary!

Please, someone bring me the latest Kurt Eichenwald article before I faint.

If your plan for the moment is literally just talk then why is the rejecting the Democrats in there? Why not support the best option until something comes to fruition?

Not supporting the Dems is not going to break down the system unless a wave of super wokeness sweeps the nation in which case a better option will arise anyway. Your whole story about ending the two party system is nonsense. Your big Populist Revolution in this instance was instantly absorbed by one of the big parties. Everyone voted straight ticket R, man.
