Or just wait until you can vote for one of the two traditional parties, and confirm your dedication. As Ralph Nader once said, the Democrats and Republicans are really one political party, the Capitalist Party. Nader has also said that as a young man who commented to his father that the US needed a third party. Hi father’s reply? “I’d settle for a second one.”
This comic is a great critique of capitalist society. It’s like something George Carlin might have come up with if he’d done cartoons instead of stand-up comedy.
In response to the comment above, it was for a long time largely true that there wasn’t all that much distinction between the two major parties, and that they were both overly beholden towards corporate interests. But reformers like Teddy Roosevelt aside, the Republican party has always been somewhat closer to big business, even going back to the 19th century. And while many Democrats are still too corporate-friendly, the Republican party has now been totally captured by the absolute worst elements of society, whether it’s psychopathic anti-democracy billionaires, the worst corporate wrongdoers, white supremacists, Christian nationalists, xenophobes, conspiracy theorists, or just all-around nasty people. For all their flaws (and their excessive attachment to the capitalist system), the Democrats are at least not fascists out to turn the country into an authoritarian oligarchy, like the MAGA Republicans are.
