If I didn’t know any better, I would think this is a 2020 “think piece”. Reading this makes it so painfully obvious that nothing has changed and the Democrats have done nothing to take us out of the hamster wheel b/c they benefit from it.

This line struck me: “Technically I could vote, but the election in which I could vote was a farce.”

On leftists: “Few will hear its appeal because it will have almost no opportunity to take part in the campaign and explain its platform. If a voter organizes or advocates a real third-party movement, he may be accused of seeking to overthrow this government by "force and violence

This quote shouldn’t be timeless: “What has the Administration done to rescue Negro workers, the most impoverished group in the nation, half of whom receive less than half the median wage of the nation, while the nation sends billions abroad to protect oil investments”

“Is the refusal to vote in this phony election [...] despair? [...] It is hope that if [25 mill] voters refrain from voting [...b/c] of their own accord [& not b/c] of a sly wink from Khrushchev, this might make the American [ppl] ask how much longer this dumb farce can proceed“

Notice how ppl were accusing non-voters of being either agents of Russia or being unwittingly manipulated by Russia even during DuBois’s time

I feel just as tired as DuBois sounds. At what point do we go fuck this?
