    Kamala “Do Not Come” Harris

    Joe “Nothing Will Fundamentally Change” Biden

    Nancy “Insider Trading is Fine, Actually” Pelosi

    They both serve capital first, all the rest is rhetoric to keep you frustrated and bewildered - unable to realize it. You’ll spend the rest of eternity focusing on the outrage of the week, blind to the fact that the economics of the day dictate how they steer your thought and energy. When the chips are down, none of them worry about your poor non-capital-having ass.

      Joe “We need a Republican party that is principled and strong” Biden

      Democrats love the republican party. They protect them and keep them safe. thus trump remaining free, and all the previous “looking forward” bullshit that comes after the republicans get busted.

      How else would democrats ever look good if they had to actually compete with a political party that wasn’t a complete clown show?

      Yep. This is it. They are minions of money. Genocide? It’s profit. That’s why neither side cares.

      So you want me and others to vote for a fascist just because dems are bad? It doesn’t stop with voting against fascism. First you vote against it, and then you start trying the grassroots campaigns to kick out the worthless democrats, which is a lot easier when there isn’t a literal fascist.

      Dems give me a lot more trains and bike paths and social services than Republicans ever will.

        This might just blow your mind, but there is a way to have more then two political parties to participate in elections without a spoiler effect.

        One has to wonder why the self proclaimed democracy advocates in the democratic party haven’t pushed for these critical electoral reforms in states they control.

        Democrats most certainly understand the flaws in First Past the Post voting. Feel free to go to the comments on any news articles on third parties/candidates during the previous election season to see it on full display.

        So why do Democrats howl and scream about 3rd parties, yet do nothing to replace First past the post voting?

        Informative videos below.

        Ranked Choice voting

        Range Voting

          Yes, ranked choice voting which I’ve repeatedly mentioned in this thread. Read mfer.

          We don’t have that yet. We need to fight for that, and it’s harder to fight for when you’re under a fascist dictatorship.

          I mean a. Depends on your area. B. Because they fuckin suck. The only reason I vote for them over republicans is because, again, not fascist.

        Yeah, sure, but this math is simple enough for anyone with two cents to rub together. If youre interacting with them on a web forum about politics chances are they arent the people who need to hear it.

        So, stay vigilant.
