    You ever stop and ask yourself why no other party or candidate stands a chance? It could perhaps be the decades of mental conditioning that has locked the working class into an infinite loop of “vote blue no matter who” and “let’s go Brandon” dipshittery, coupled with every propped up candidate being a corporate warmongering shill. It’s pay to play or piss off. It’s just wild to me that some people refuse to see it from their comfortable neolib and conservative bubbles.

      I don’t have to wonder about the concept of inertia. We can see it everywhere. I also don’t wonder about whether or not I can defy it just by thinking happy thoughts and pissing my vote into the wind

        I don’t care how people vote. It’s their choice and I’m not going to tell them otherwise. But I’m also going to be realistic about who these people truly are, and acknowledge the facts. The US isn’t a democracy.

          I’m glad that because it’s all a sham anyhow, watching your compatriots set the world on fire is no sweat off your back. 👎

            You assumed things based on what I said and none of them were true. So it’s abundantly clear you don’t want to have a conversation because it’s easier to make disingenuous claims. I’m pro-working class first and foremost. Always have been because I was raised that way.

                Encouraging people to make informed, conscious decisions doesn’t equate to telling them to vote for fascism. This is that 2-dimensional shit I’m talking about. I don’t care who anyone votes for. If anything, I hope Trump’s conviction keeps him off the ballot altogether.

                  The way presidential elections have gone for many decades inform us that any vote not for Biden is essentially against him. Not 2 dimensional to acknowledge that basic fact.

                  We can agree on that last point but it doesn’t seem at all likely. He very much might win
