You have power! You are responsible! You need to use that power. You need to make active choices in the world.

Yes, we have power, which we can use to toss off the chains of the oppressors, and seize the means of production.

Ready to help?

I didn't choose this username for no reason

So, ready to do more than just vote?

What are you going to do in the meantime?

I've been doing what I plan to do for the next 2, 4, 8, 20 years: work to build just systems, that dont rely on the state to meet the material needs of the working class in my community.

So, again, what are you doing?

There you go. You figured it out. I did all that, and one more day on top of it. It only takes one day to vote.
