So you think that if Sanders becomes the leader of the democratic party (he won’t), all of the lobbies and all of the billionaires interests that are behind both Democratic and Republican parties, are gonna suddenly disappear? Unfortunately that’s not how it works.

Voting for the democratic party would alsocbe against your self-interest as member of the working class, just as much as republican. You need to realise the US is a one party system, Democratic and Republican are two branches of the same party.

Which party can you vote that will redistribute wealth?

That’s true, I’m not saying that never happens. I’m just saying one should evaluate the likelihood of something happening, not just the risk itself, or you might end up depriving yourself of useful experiences and interactions, de facto letting the feds win without even actually doing anything.

Again even in that case I would ask myself, why would they pick me out of the other million people that were at the same march?

Unfortunately the line between safety and self-destroying paranoia, isn’t that thick.

It’s good to be conscious about these things, but it’s also important to have a correct analysis of the threat level.

Do you have a good reason to believe authorities might be monitoring your phone specifically out of the hundreds of millions of people the could pick from? They don’t have the capacity to monitor every single phone or conversation. They will have their own threat analysis and only put you under that type of surveillance if you are or if you have the potential to become an active threat to them.

If you just go about your life minding your business then you can be certain the feds aren’t reading your sms.

It’s true that better safe than sorry, but at the same time you can’t let safety paralyse you and stop you from acting.

As a person drawing in debt, I wish for the total collapse of the current economic system and its institutions, including banks and credit unions.

As someone who was raised as poor and is now a poor adult, nothing would be better than temhe total collapse of the economy similar to 2008 but just on a even larger scale.
