Your Democracy is a Sham and Here's Why
We're not going to waste energy on something proven to be a failed practice.
Your argument boils down to that of a gambling addict who doesn't know when to stop, despite increased harm the longer you perpetuate it.
It is harder than voting for diet fascism and shitting on people that aren't insulated and privileged lanyard-wearing smug computer touchers like yourself.
This thread has been a fascinating look into the mind of a
evangelist.
Since they can only ever conceptualise change occuring via electoralism they seem to see not voting as therefore not doing anything.
Like, the only way to change the world is by voting for the lesser of two evils and hoping that maybe they might possibly do a watered down version of what you want.
Fucking bleak, no wonder fake edgy pop-nihilism is so popular among liberals.
Big-time West Wing victory conditions.
