100% This.

"Criticizing the Democratic Party, Resisting ICE & Fascism, Lessons from Minneapolis, the 'Wrong Kind of Muslim' & More - Qasim Rashid | Rapid Response #19

When "your side" is the "lesser of two evils," are you supposed to just keep your mouth shut鈥攅ven as their actions put you in more danger? Today's guest, Qasim Rashid, has some thoughts."

----

Both parties are funded by billion dollar corporations and the full history clearly shows that reality. The history shows too little difference between them. We need new parties, yes, BUT we new floods of activism OUTSIDE of the conventional electoral/politics process.

We need to organize civic society. The current political process/system is not the only space for us to be active. Restricting ourselves to what currently exists will result in failure and limited reform.

The system is the problem.
