    And you are actively participating in your own oppression, knowingly voting for a candidate when you’ve seen for four straight decades that either ruling party is going to make your life demonstrably harder.

    Do you like paying double for your groceries?

    Do you like that your rent is skyrocketing?

    Meanwhile they make hundreds of billions appear out of thin air for other countries’ wars.

      Yep. All bad things.

      But the choices we have in a general election are:

      1. Vote for the candidate you hate least
      2. Not vote at all and accept whatever the worst candidates are doing to you
      3. Vote for a fairytale candidate (this and option 2 have identical results)
      4. Violent uprising

      The Trump cult is hard at work on options 1 and 4 while deploying millions of bots and thousands of bad actors to encourage everyone else to go with options 2 and 3.

        What exactly are you expecting a Democratic vote to change?

        If the Democrats did their job Trump wouldn’t even be on the ballot, so your faith seems misguided to me.

        Vote Green instead.

          I’m expecting them to not effectively outlaw being anything other than a wealthy CIS white Christian male.

          The ship is sinking, and instead of helping us bail water you’re trying to pick out more attractive curtains for your room.
