Chelsea Manning, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Maryland, is quite unhappy with how it’s going so far. Have a read:

ive been knocking on doors and making phone calls all over Maryland lately – most people aren't interested in voting, or elections, or civil discourse anymore – theyve heard it all before – they dont think it will make a difference – and they are right

And Manning’s given up on “any change thru the upcoming elections” because “the primaries are rigged”:

we cant expect any change thru the upcoming elections – the primaries are rigged – this so-called "blue wave" is gonna be more like a blue ripple, or a blue drip – establishment dems always happily vote for a warmer friendlier police state – change wont come thru any ballot

Manning thinks voting won’t work either and it’s time for something “radically different”:

voting wont change anything – protesting with chants and signs and holding hands isnt gonna change anything either – we need more than that – we cant wait anymore – we need something radically different and we cant just ask for it or expect it to happen somehow
