    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.
