Everything always get so serious. Thought this could be a fun experiment to discuss a serious issue in a non-serious way.
To me the right has become mostly a meme
Blocking political process is now the main theme
The SCOTUS taking bribes left and right
Gerrymandering going on day and night
Most democrats have the appeal of The Simpsons’ Flanders
He’s getting pretty old but I like Bernie Sanders
Upvoted for Bernie Sanders
Why would you waste an upvote on someone who won’t win, when you can upvote the least worst candidate that could?
/s just in case
The rich get richer / The poor get poorer / When our time comes / No guilt for the horror
or maybe
The planet is burning / We die of starvation / Abolish the wealthy / And claim our salvation
or maybe
One, two, buckle my shoe / Three, four, overthrow the 1% and bring about a socialist utopia, etc
I always watch sadly
Those giving their vote
To people who’d gladly
Cut open their throat.They follow their hate,
They don’t spot the lies.
Rich man owns the state,
Rich man’s gaining weight,
The poor one just dies.Edit: changed a line
Capitalism has become such a bore Wish waged labor existed no more I’d rather pay taxes Take billionaires assets And distribute some wealth to the poor
I really don't care It's neither here nor there I live alone in the woods My biggest worry is bear And his economic stance on my foods
Anarchism is the way, workers only you should pay.
The rich and wealthy we should eat, nutrition shouldn’t be sourced from meat.
Roses are red Violets are blue The worlds gonna end Before I turn 52
People dislike the present
Yet always vote Blue or Red
I only vote independent
And people still blame me for who led
The simple narrative taught in every history class Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist Don’t you know the world is built with blood? And genocide and exploitation The global network of capital essentially functions To separate the worker from the means of production And the FBI killed Martin Luther King Private property’s inherently theft And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left And every politician, every cop on the street Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite
(Bo Burnham - How the World Works)
Newlines are real tough.
Two spaces and the end make it rough.Hit enter twice
For space extra nice.

I yearn to be free
To plant a tall tree
Or maybe five or fifty
A greener world would be nifty
/
Power corrupts
So why should we bother
With coups so abrupt
And Dictator Father?
/
Yet democracy still
Gives me a chill
Tyranny of the masses
Why the rose colored glasses?
/
Corporate greed
Is not immune
From society’s bleed
Into authoritarian noon
/
So what, then? A king?
Or anarchy’s kiss?
How do we give up the bling?
Live a life full of bliss?
/
The truth lies inside
The life we observe
Is the one that we chose
And thus, what we deserve
/
If we want to be free
Change from a few’s not enough
Not just a million and three
But collectively, all of us
Like tectonic plates, growing apart
With Xitter and Facebook neatly doing their part
The legislature doesn’t really care about me
They get there money and healthcare for free
Meanwhile, we suffer from this polarization
Not just the US, but almost every nation
War, corruption and global warming give me a hopeless feeling
Almost on a daily basis, reading news leaves me reeling
Am I just a pessimist or will we really fail?
Are we watching the apocalypse in slow motion while wagging our tail
There are so many politics issues
That I would be here all day
So if you want to know what mine are
Treat this comment as an AMA
I wonder what you think
Of the old orange dink
Or maybe of the wealth
That is burning the earth in stealth?
My questions may be loaded
And my Rhymes are kind of bloated
Donald Trump may have tried his best
But I wouldn’t call his reign good
No president for a while withstood the test
They had not been as they should
Since the 2000’s I’ve been around
But they’ve all been meh to me
He’s no different I have found
And that’s fine, it’s a fact of life you see
Tolerating their presence I can do
Sitting through it isn’t a big deal
It’s not like they affect me or you
Presidents are sitting ducks, let’s be real
As for the wealth issue you speak of
Capitalism should add a few rules
Otherwise if push does come to shove
If we do nothing we would be fools
Ever since I have been married with kids
My days are too short for me to give a shit
Slavery is real, racism is too
But look outside America, you’ll see it times 2
