          Me: “Elections are important because they shape material conditions. Even if your goal is to overthrow the government by means other than electoral politics, two hours every four years is a time-and-effort contribution worth having a less monstrous enemy to battle against.”

          You: “Oh? How long until the REVOLUTION, then? GOTTEM”

          Me: “Fucking what.”

          You: “Here’s my illiterate take on another post entirely in addition!”

          👏

            Anarchists: “Electoral governments lead to fascist conditions time immemorial. Why do neoliberals insists on voting the brownshirts into power to absolutely demolish collective efforts?”

            You: “Vote in primaries! It’ll take two years, maybe four, but our populist leader will actually stop the deathcamps next next next election! I pinkie promise!”

            me: “Wait, are you being honest?”

            you: “☝️”

              Literally the opposite of what I said, but go off, illiterate medieval king. 👑

                  Your country is the Nazi one, no?

                  What does that have to do with the point at hand?

                  Other than nothing, with you grasping for straws for something that can cover up your utter inability to read basic English, plainly and repeatedly stated, with your misinterpretations corrected each time?

                  Do you still not understand the point being made, despite it being repeated for you in progressively clearer terms? Do I have to dumb it down for you and spoon-feed you like a toddler to get you to understand?

                  What obstacles did your elections prevent?

                  … you do realize that McCarthyism was enabled in no small part by worse candidates being elected, and was ended by better candidates dominating the political system?

                  No, of course not, that would require some basic ability to understand anything you read, including your own linked wikipedia article. Sorry, I know it was offensive of me to presume you had that capacity after your previous displays.

                    And where is your nation now, in it’s revolutionary phase, or the Nazi one?
