      Every other person in the world would rather an incomoent nincompoop be at the helm, so that you get a taste of the death and destruction you’ve wrought onto the rest of the world for 80 years. Good luck!

      Your daily reminder that BlueMaga liberals don’t consider non-westeners to be human. That’s why they can describe active genocide as “nothing” and “not perfect”

      The meme doesn’t mention Biden, who wasn’t even on the ticket, because the DNC undemocratically shoved Harris down your throat.

        Then maybe stop mocking the institutes that have more chance at changing things than assuring people voting doesn’t matter, only contributing to the problem in the long-term.

        The tools and mechanisms of democracy may be faulty and not work 100% of the time, less so in some places, but it is worse without them.

        Even if they don’t matter, truly, for some time, people taking part in the ritual stay way more politically active as opposed to not doing even as little. This makes them more likely to continue, like maybe rally or contact their representatives or maybe get more people involved. None of this is perfect or guaranteed, but the alternative is letting the more politically active opponent win.

        I myself live in a place where voting means more than people actually realize, but still think very little of it, only making it easier for the status quo to prevail through lies, propaganda and rigging, because if nobody voted, then nobody feels as screwed over, and that energy doesn’t flow in the way that may actually have some positive change.

        You may not believe in voting or take part, but at least don’t be discouraging people from as little. Especially if you believe in something more immediate and reactionary - that just can’t come from nowhere, certainly not from “Nothing I do will ever matter”.

          the United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.
          Julius Nyerere

          I shall not go to the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no “two evils” exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say…
          W.E.B. Du Bois

          half of the things you said don’t apply to me because i live in your backyard, amigo. i’m not telling anyone to not be political, i’m saying they should stop pretending they live in democracy because you dont. you’re one step away from feudalism. be political, organize, read, help union shit, join the communist party. but stop pretending McWhite is going to not be bought by capital. there is no, there will never be an ounce of democracy in the filthy states of america, until it collapses and is rebuilt.
