if you vote, you have no right to complain

I think the people that are voting this down either didn't watch the video or don't understand sarcasm.

I'm sorry. I generally really like Carlin. but that's a really bad take.

At the time that Carlin was saying this, it was probably a lot more accurate than today. The parties were pretty indistinguishable for a lot of the 80s and 90s, and then after that the Democrats got significantly better in some cases, and the Republicans went straight off the edge into wanting to kill anyone different than them or who wanted to stand in their way.

the Democrats got significantly better

Neo-liberalism has not been a win for the working class no matter who is in charge of swinging that particular bat.

Quick question, what do you think has happened to working class wages in the last 4 years, and what to income inequality?
