Comment on the two party system is just one big party
nialv7@lemmy.world 12 hours agoI don’t think OP was suggesting voting third party… America hasn’t had a democracy that works for the majority of the people, for a very long time. The ruling class is not going to let you change the system. Time to think differently.

Sure, but if you genuinely believe this, then you need to be in the streets, breaking the law, and overthrowing the establishment. I’ve got mad respect for people who are willing to do that. I’ve got respect for people who are willing to vote to keep trump and other far right fascists out of power. I’ve got no respect for someone who doesn’t vote, or votes 3rd party when literally everything is on the line, and then grandstands about it on the internet like they are fucking hero. Those morons risked everything for a chance to gain nothing, and the rest of us are stuck with the results of their 20 IQ bet.

Yes, I fully agree with you. I forgot to add: absolutely GO VOTE. Vote out the bad people and vote the less bad people in. I just wanted to say that’s not enough, and we must do more, a lot more.
But please, if you want to convince someone to vote for your candidate, calling them morons, 20 IQ, etc. is not going to work.
