    To me the right has become mostly a meme

    Blocking political process is now the main theme

    The SCOTUS taking bribes left and right

    Gerrymandering going on day and night

    Most democrats have the appeal of The Simpsons’ Flanders

    He’s getting pretty old but I like Bernie Sanders

    I don’t really care
    where the money go
    even though you’ve said
    that I should have known.

    I’m interested in
    mechanism of vote
    it’s my nerdy thing
    just let me enjoy’t.

    Let’s use Condorcet,
    not FPTP,
    even two-round set
    is pretty shitty.

    'lectoral treshold
    I want it to cease
    so that we could vote
    for minor parties.

    Last year you could see
    it has real effect
    I would be happier
    without this deffect.

    There was a young man from Bluff,
    Who quite frankly had enough.

    Feeling sick through,
    With with interchangable red/blue.

    With research in hand,
    And policy that’s not bland.

    This time with great zeal,
    This time I’ll vote the colour teal.

    Like tectonic plates, growing apart

    With Xitter and Facebook neatly doing their part

    The legislature doesn’t really care about me

    They get there money and healthcare for free

    Meanwhile, we suffer from this polarization

    Not just the US, but almost every nation

    War, corruption and global warming give me a hopeless feeling

    Almost on a daily basis, reading news leaves me reeling

    Am I just a pessimist or will we really fail?

    Are we watching the apocalypse in slow motion while wagging our tail

    Down with states and stature
    Strive instead to ready
    Through direct radical action
    Root changes grow fruitful
    Refreshed from old ashes
    Our society rises
    We sow personal power
    To free all the people

    I really don't care
    It's neither here nor there
    I live alone in the woods
    My biggest worry is bear
    And his economic stance on my foods

    The rich get richer / The poor get poorer / When our time comes / No guilt for the horror

    or maybe

    The planet is burning / We die of starvation / Abolish the wealthy / And claim our salvation

    or maybe

    One, two, buckle my shoe / Three, four, overthrow the 1% and bring about a socialist utopia, etc

    Anarchism is the way, workers only you should pay.

    The rich and wealthy we should eat, nutrition shouldn’t be sourced from meat.

    I always watch sadly
    Those giving their vote
    To people who’d gladly
    Cut open their throat.

    They follow their hate,
    They don’t spot the lies.
    Rich man owns the state,
    Rich man’s gaining weight,
    The poor one just dies.

    Edit: changed a line

    There are so many politics issues

    That I would be here all day

    So if you want to know what mine are

    Treat this comment as an AMA

      I wonder what you think

      Of the old orange dink

      Or maybe of the wealth

      That is burning the earth in stealth?

      My questions may be loaded

      And my Rhymes are kind of bloated

        Donald Trump may have tried his best

        But I wouldn’t call his reign good

        No president for a while withstood the test

        They had not been as they should

        Since the 2000’s I’ve been around

        But they’ve all been meh to me

        He’s no different I have found

        And that’s fine, it’s a fact of life you see

        Tolerating their presence I can do

        Sitting through it isn’t a big deal

        It’s not like they affect me or you

        Presidents are sitting ducks, let’s be real

        As for the wealth issue you speak of

        Capitalism should add a few rules

        Otherwise if push does come to shove

        If we do nothing we would be fools
