If someone claims to be apolitical, they just don't want to talk about it with you; even if they agree with you.
Even in the army, when we were supposed to present as apolitical, we still voted, which means we needed to consider and learn and understand. We just didn't talk about it at work or socially.
It's fucking absurd that we've let our country run so very far from reflecting the people's will that we can't even talk to each other about the thing we're all supposed to do to supposedly continue selecting that representation.
Politics has just always been such a no-no topic at work, it’s no wonder we can’t organize any sort of real labor movement now.
I think it’s even worse in the MAGA era.
I feel like that particular voting strategy is long dead in the U.S. and Canada. Knowledge?! Who needs it?!
