Bill Hicks died at 32, in 1994, so he lived through 12 years straight of Republicans ('81-'93), and presumably thought maybe Bill Clinton and the Democrats would be different. Had he lived longer, I'm sure he would have been as salty about the Democrats being liars, too. Just like those who lived through 8 years of G.W. Bush in their formative years probably thought that Obama would be much different, with all of the propaganda about hope & change, etc.

Chomsky still telling people to strategically vote for Democrats vs. starting a new party (like the People's Party[0], a populist-focused, anti-corporate party) is pretty inexcusable, though, but that's beside the point.

If you like Bill Hicks' far left view, you might like Jimmy Dore [1], too. Though he's more of a "pothead club comedian".
