    Lol. It was a complete stream of articles aimed at discouraging voting based on a single issue while never posting anything showing that the other side was going to be worse on the same issue, let alone disastrous for so many other reasons.

    Don’t give me the bullshit about posting facts. I never said a thing about lies. It was selective posting to promote an agenda of not voting.

    If that agenda influenced even on person not to vote, they were part of the problem. Voting is about choosing the best fit candidate, not the perfect candidate. Working to change the horrible status quo should be done outside of an election in which not voting is helping to usher fascism into the highest offices in this country.

    Seeing as you’re calling Biden and Harris neo fascist this entire text is lost on you. Guessing you didn’t vote or aren’t a US citizen, and obviously don’t understand what this country lost by electing dipshit don into the presidency. Both sides are not the same no matter how delusionally you believe they are.

      Holy shit It’s honestly amazing how dumbass Americans like you see politicians openly supporting and facilitated the biggest genocide of the 21st century and still refuse to admit they’re fascist because the orange guy is worse.

      You guys do not give a shit about the plight of the Third World, which would be okay somewhat if your country wasn’t the biggest terrorist organisation in the world. Designating a huge ass entire genocide as a single issue is a fascist dog whistle in and of itself.

      The best thing people like you can do right now is shit on people who called actual fascists out for being fascists instead of actually inspecting where you went wrong. Only now Western Liberals are coming around to calling it what the rest of the world has been calling it for the past two years - a genocide.

      With Trump - you guys are only getting a fraction of the pain and suffering that America caused to other countries.

      You got voting all wrong. Votes put money in people’s pockets. You gotta withhold the money to make them work for you, or the cycle just continues. If it wasn’t Trump this time, he would have run the next time, or some other loser to take his place. Gaza would still be rubble. People still being deported. Abortions still not legal federally. The two party system does not work and needs a reset. Whether that happened last election or a future election, it would lead to a bad time. Life is cyclical.

        Okay what people saying this shit never address is where we are now. Exactly how are we better off now? Trump is 1000 times worse than any Democrat and every single day we see that proven further from a shadow of doubt.

          Where we are now is life. Things go up and down. You can’t just keep doing the same thing expecting it to get better when the system doesn’t work that way. Sometimes in life you go through hard times so that the future is better.

            I couldn’t have made a better argument against voting against democrats.

            Cool, accelerationist.

                Interesting. Since I feel like it’s the 19 year olds who still believe voting against democrats will fix everything, whereas those who are older than that have seen the reality that this plan would never work.

                  There are two sides of the spectrum. Old people who believe in political parties and young people who want to blow it all up. Always been that way. Old people die. Young people get old shifting their ideologies with them, and the cycle continues.

                  There was not some single event or entity that caused people to not want to vote in the last election. It was a hive mind. Nobody controls that. It was meant to be.

                  You deciding to vote for so and so is also part of a hive mind. You are not making that decision yourself. You were always going to do what you did.
