      People should just accept that the US is gonna back genocide, let billionaires fuck kids and steal everything, and then pretend to be great.

      Expecting that we won’t be terrible discourages voting.

        Why do we have to fucking say this every goddamned fucking time.

        IN THE GENERAL ELECTION WHEN THE OPTION IS FASCISM OR NOT FASCISM DO NOT VOTE FOR FASCISM

        IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT AGAINST GENOCCIDE AND PEDOPHILIA AND THE REST THEN YOUR TIME TO FIGHT IS NOW, NOT THE GENERAL FUCKING ELECTION. RUN FOR OFFICE. TAKE OVER THE GOVERNMENT AND REVOLT. KILL BILLIONAIRES. WHATEVER YOU THINK IS BEST

        BUT WHEN IT COMES TO A GENERAL ELECTION BETWEEN FACIST AND NOT-FASCIST, THE ONLY CHOICE IS TO VOTE AGAINST THE FASCIST

        Anything else supports fascism.

        Now, any other fucking strawman stupid ass offtopic bullshit?

                  No but seriously I think people need to drastically lower their expectations of what our country is capable of, and how much we need to scream at our leaders before they give a damn.

                  Voting is never going to be enough. Literally go to their offices and yell at them.

                    I meant in regard to the big text.

                    But my point in this thread is against those saying not to vote blue in the general election. I’ve tried to make it clear that we should also change the system - whether by running for office, civil war, whatever. Not all options are equal.

                    But again, I’m just arguing against the people defending not voting for the non-fascist in the general election. Because people are supporting that.

      What an easy explanation for why this system works the way it does. I wonder who benefits from this way of thinking.
