Ian MacKaye, punk legend from Fugazi, Minor Threat, talks about Voting and Politics. Check out the book and film that grew from this project, more at USAODD.com.
I know Ian McKay over 30 years now. Not only as a musician but also as a thinking man. A really thinking man. And he was an is allways 'spot on'. I love this guy... There should be more people like him - people that think before they talk.
I first met everyone at Dischord House in 81. I spent a lot of time on the couch there and practiced weekly in the basement. While I don’t share my old friend Ian’s political beliefs, I would fight to the death for him to exercise them. He’s a good man and truly a loyal friend.
As a lifelong member of the Apathetic Party, I must say it's nice to finally get some recognition. Seriously, though: the problem isn't Democrats or Republicans . . . it's Democrats AND Republicans, and the belief among too many that the federal government is the solution (and not the cause) of what ails us. If we want to fix the country, we'll have to fix our communities OURSELVES, and not count on Sam to come swooping in to save us. Politicians are too busy trying to get elected and re-elected to worry themselves about solving problems in our dinky little towns.
Oh my guy....you don't know how lonely I've felt since Covid started and I realized as an ex military member EXACTLY what you're saying - it's a huge giant business

The best vote you got these days is what you choose to consume.

The more you know politics, the more you keep yourself from becoming a politician
I totally agree.
