Without reading the comments, a popular response to this would be “you get what you vote for.” The folks fired here just want to live their lives and due to their socio-economic status, they generally have no influence over things coming down from their government, nor can they afford to move. It truly doesn’t matter if they vote Democrat, Republican, or Green Party, the results are predetermined in the elections anyway. Since the soap box has been taken away and the ballot box has been hijacked, there has to be another way.
That’s just how I view it. Nobody wants a worse life for themselves.
