Fuck this place(Not the Bernie Group). DU is taking the life out of me. I just don't understand why [View all]

it's so hard to get people to want to take the power back. Studies have shown that we have lost it to rich and powerful interests. There is no denying the phenomenon exists. Why do they celebrate that? Why do they reject our attempts to democratically rebalance the scales? I have never felt so dejected as I do when I read the No Hope, No Change party posts. I'm at my whits end.
