We have just the thing for the final weeks of the US Presidential election spectacle: a new video from our comrades Test Their Logik, “Democracy’s Bankrupt.” This anthem eloquently expresses the disillusionment with electoral democracy that is spreading around North America today. Recommended for use alongside our “Vote Here” stickers and our poster series, “What Does Democracy Mean?”

Following their debut album, “A,” Test Their Logik’s “Democracy’s Bankrupt” is the first single off their upcoming album “Be,” due to drop on December 21.

X2 All power to the people. If voting changed anything it would be illegal those in power have always been deceitful we’re done with voting for a lessor evil democracy means war, surveillance, prisons, police, borders, capitalism. every vote is a vote for the system act directly make your own decisions

X2 All power to the people. If voting changed anything it would be illegal those in power have always been deceitful we’re done with voting for a lessor evil democracy means war, surveillance, prisons, police, borders, capitalism. every vote is a vote for the system act directly make your own decisions
