    Good job, the alternative that you and people like you chose by sitting around and doing nothing to prove your superiority is much better! Schoolgirls got bombed! The global markets were disrupted! Elon is a trillionaire! Environmental protections were removed and human lives were valued at 0 by the EPA! Trans people are openly punished and laws are being written to prevent them using public restrooms! Screwworms and measels are returning to the US! The entire planet hates the US (rightfully so and even more than they did before) and historic allies are turning against us! The US openly aligned with Israel and started a war for no reason!

    I’m sure glad you couldn’t bear the weight of voting, you’re an inspirational beacon and the world thanks you for what you didn’t do

      You misunderstand. Our current situation is exactly what your proposed strategy got us. You are proposing business as usual politics, and that’s exactly what we’ve been doing for decades. And for decades, things have gotten worse. This is not working. You’d have to be pretty fucking naive to stick to the same strategy that got us to where we are today (full blown fascism).

        Wow, it’s almost impressive how you are so insanely dedicated to missing the entire point. You obviously are not capable of understanding a damn thing

          My guy, your point is not a subtle or nuanced as you think. It’s literally the default opinion in a liberal democracy. That’s not an indictment of the point, but it does mean I’ve heard it a thousand times before, and it’s not hard to understand. Independently of that it is empirically wrong though.

            I never said it was nuanced nor subtle. I’ve said it as pretty fucking plainly and obviously as I could, and you’re still too dense to understand it. You are the reason we’re where we are
