The US is not a democracy, it's a system where the power of the state is auctioned off to the highest bidder. Both mainstream political parties maintain this system. That is the uniparty consensus: capitalism must be protected.

To change that system we need to organize, it's not enough to just vote every few years. We need to push for the change we want to see, and build momentum for a general strike, and even a revolution.

Ow big burn to all those MAGA vape store owners who went under because of that decision, though most of them probably sell a bunch of other crap like dodgy thc vapes and "mushroom" gummies.

Think about how little money 5 million is for a massive company.
