    You got voting all wrong. Votes put money in people’s pockets. You gotta withhold the money to make them work for you, or the cycle just continues. If it wasn’t Trump this time, he would have run the next time, or some other loser to take his place. Gaza would still be rubble. People still being deported. Abortions still not legal federally. The two party system does not work and needs a reset. Whether that happened last election or a future election, it would lead to a bad time. Life is cyclical.

      Okay what people saying this shit never address is where we are now. Exactly how are we better off now? Trump is 1000 times worse than any Democrat and every single day we see that proven further from a shadow of doubt.

        Now that Trump has started to hurt a lot of middle class white people suddenly the pain is a problem. All the pain on minority communities before Trump was fine eh?

          So have you always pretended to care about gazans or did it start during the 2024 election cycle? Guessing the latter, you moral little angel you.

            How is my reply bad faith?

            Your comment minimises all the brutalisation done against minorities, since the biggest difference with Trump is he is doing all that as before, but also targetting white people who were otherwise shielded from the bluntest parts of the US.

            If that difference is 1000 times worse then how are you not valuing the comfort of white people above all?

        Where we are now is life. Things go up and down. You can’t just keep doing the same thing expecting it to get better when the system doesn’t work that way. Sometimes in life you go through hard times so that the future is better.

          I couldn’t have made a better argument against voting against democrats.

          Sometimes in life you go through hard times so that the future is better.

          Cool, accelerationist.

                It’s gonna get better. Life is cyclical. You can’t expect everything in your life to be rainbows and sunshine. Times will be hard and out of your control. You have to be prepared to deal with that.

              Interesting. Since I feel like it’s the 19 year olds who still believe voting against democrats will fix everything, whereas those who are older than that have seen the reality that this plan would never work.

                There are two sides of the spectrum. Old people who believe in political parties and young people who want to blow it all up. Always been that way. Old people die. Young people get old shifting their ideologies with them, and the cycle continues.

                There was not some single event or entity that caused people to not want to vote in the last election. It was a hive mind. Nobody controls that. It was meant to be.

                You deciding to vote for so and so is also part of a hive mind. You are not making that decision yourself. You were always going to do what you did.
