It's definitely based on the Phil Ochs song. I've found that a lot of people aren't catching on to the sarcastic message here. Kevin Devine is opposed to the two big political parties and realizes that true democracy will not be obtained as long as these corporate politicians are in office. The song is directed to those "liberals" who feel like they are fighting a good fight, even though they just do what is convenient and trendy, while often being extremely uneducated.
