    First, I vote. But here is a take… I have heard countless people say that if you support the nazi’s in anyway, you are a nazi. Ok, so the entire US government serves the purpose of enriching the wealthy, empowering other governments to commit genocide, countless war crimes (well before trump), keeping people poor, ensuring healthcare is always expensive, and enabling car rental companies to not have the car you reserved and be penalty free, while if you don’t show, you pay them. So by voting you are participating in that government, which means you are responsible for all that.
    Seems like a neat trick they came up with when they started having votes. You think you have a say, but really it’s just an illusion.

      That’s not a take so much as it is a bunch of disjointed, almost-sensical thoughts thrown into a paragraph together.

      So you’re saying that regardless of which party I vote for the results are identical?

      Cuz that’s really fucking stupid and untrue.

        Pretty sure I didn’t say that. Both parties ensure you work for the rich. They just do it differently. So not identical. Think of it like a choice of two roads. One southwest, and one southeast. They go to different places, but they both go south. So overall, it’s going to get warmer.

        Oh, and asking a question that poses your incorrect interpretation, then calling it stupid… is really saying your interpretation is stupid. What’s the problem with just asking a clarifying question and skipping the insult? This isn’t reddit.
