Not as badly as I seem. It’s just insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results that gets me heated.
This is a good retort. I’m disarmed and willing to cede this point to you. IMHO, voting third party is ineffective but I will cede that voter apathy is worse.
Personally, I voted for Cruz in a solidly dem state.
If Kamala couldn’t even pretend to pledge to stop a genocide (which I knew she wouldn’t from her enthusiastic speeches for the AIPAC alone) she shouldn’t have anyone’s vote. if there are only two viable parties, at least one of them should be pacifists, right?
Thanks for the intellectually honest and non-defensive reply. You’re the type of voter shamer that I can at least come to a common ground with. 🕊️
A great place to go to discourage them from the inescapable financial trap that is higher education in the US.
If you think voting between two utterly corrupt parties that collaborate on fucking you over behind closed doors matters, get fucked.
No. But the way to fix this CERTAINLY isn’t to post memes broadcasting your anger at some perceived slight from people that won’t step in line behind a sham system like some stupid sheep to be herded for your silly partisan hackery. The shaming does nothing more than perpetuate the very issue of corruption and austerity in the US.
Ranked choice voting solves the issues created by FPTP.
Have you EVER seen evidence that shaming marginalized, unrepresented, utterly voiceless and abused voters works?
I’m shocked that you’d make the typical overly generous assessment of actual bribery to excuse any and all of your team. /s
Do some more research. This is just the tip of the fucking iceberg. Biden has a long track record of quid pro quo besides this event that you clearly are purposely looking the other way on.
I could literally show you video of Biden accepting a bribe and you’d find a way to excuse it.

There’s like three studios left. Welcome to oligopoly.
The politicians of the US took massive payouts from the banking industry in exchange for commodifying anything and everything that people need. Back in ~~2008~~ 2005, Biden himself took a $250,000 bribe from MBNA to make it illegal to escape student loans even in bankruptcy.
How dare you, OP.
What you’re doing is the equivalent of victim-shaming. The two party system is a fucking sham; and if you’re too comfortable (or ignorant) to realize that, you need to go read up on the US’s fake democracy and stop punching down on your allies.
Some reading:
1.) First past the post makes only two parties possible.
2.) Voting is a fucking sham when you only have two private parties that win court cases where they are accused of election fraud, offering the following as their defense:
“We could have voluntarily decided that, ‘Look, we’re gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way,’”
furthermore, the DNC’s lawyer said,
“There’s no right to not have your candidate disadvantaged or have another candidate advantaged. There’s no contractual obligation here…it’s not a situation where a promise has been made that is an enforceable promise,”
If your two parties are legally allowed to engage in open election fraud in the process of selecting those only two possible candidates, how effective is it IN REALITY to vote?
Am I out of touch?
No, it's the forward-thinking generation of software engineers that want elegant, reliable, declarative systems that are wrong.

The man was already completely demented in 2020. If you can’t even admit that and instead parrot some strange campaign point about “experience” (didn’t George Bush run the CIA before his presidency for example?), your article loses massive amounts of validity for anyone reading that lives in non-partisan hack reality.
