    Don’t worry, I vowed to never vote DNC after 2016, so if you catch me voting 3rd party, sleep well knowing it was either that or not voting at all

      Hope you like Cheeto Benito and his policy of also “keep arming Israel” plus embracing literal fascism.

      Those are both equally pointless exercises. Keep doing you and we’ll keep staring at you like you don’t know what you’re doing, because you don’t.

        I find it funny that so many people feel it’s pointless to vote for parties that represent their views. Don’t lie to yourself that we live in a democracy

          Exactly this. People who hate facism telling you you have no choice in your vote. Umm… that’s… kinda fascist…

          How ignorant are you? We vote for someone. They become our representative. That happens in reality. Is money corrupting it? No fucking duh. Big congrats on figuring that out.

          But still. We vote. It happens. We still have elections. Sometimes the underdog wins, which means it’s still legitimate. For now.

          What we’re experiencing is democracy working, but in a situation where propaganda is winning, which is possible in a democracy. It corrupts democracy.

          Our democracy picked Trump because our society is sick.
