      Hey now, I’m 41, and I think that detonating billionaires is a fine first step in societal reform. Don’t count out the middle-aged! We’re leftists too!

        I think it’s less about older=conservative but more about making the younger voting block something politicians have to cater to.

        If you don’t vote, they don’t try to take your interests to heart as much as the people who do vote. Why bother catering to people who won’t get you into office? It’s wasted effort.

        This is partially why you see people who talk about issues old people care more about, like social security, than things younger people care about, like how the fucking earth is on fire and if we don’t fix it no one will have a planet anymore.

      Vibes-Based Voting is how we got Trump in the first place.

      If you have shit politics, please STAY THE FUCK HOME. I’ve had too many fucking Redcaps showing up in election booths for the last ten years, thank you very much.

        People say I have short politics because I want to abolish work, school, and the human concepts of “hours” and “minutes.” Should I still vote?

        I’m also over 40 so between this and OP’s comment it would be pretty convincing.

      Europeans spent 40 years trying to ignore American politics, and look where it got them.

        Europeans spent 500 years making everyone suffer for European politics and now they can’t handle that the feed on their pretty lights box isn’t about them.

      No, we blew up those datacenters.

        Unfortunately they’ll figure something out by then.

      If we replaced First-past-the-post voting with something that let people transfer their votes if their preference didnt win, there wouldn’t be a spoiler effect.

      Then multiple parties could compete on who can beat the Republicans the best. Debates could be held even if Republicans dont show up.

      These crucial reforms arent front and center in every blue state, so the democrats want the spoiler effect. Democrats want things this way. Democrats want people who are unrepresented by the two party system to remain unrepresented, right alongside the republicans. Both sides want the two party system to exist.

      Unfortunately for the two mainstream political parties, the United States of America is more important then either of them. We will begin to heal when people get the chance to vote for who represents us best. Yall get to decide when that begins. Choose wisely.

      Normally this is where I would link some videos on the flaws of FPTP voting, and on much more representative electoral alternatives. Those times have past us by.

      Good luck everyone.

      I like to spread that message, along with a helping of “there’s no point in voting, it’s all rigged anyway”, in right wing message boards.

        People should vote, but how we vote is broken and we should have fixed it decades ago.

        Peaceful revolution is not possible.

      The best part about the fall of the american empire is their news will eventually become irrelevant. British news was globally important the same as the US for a long time until their empire got old tired and bankrupt.

    Social media? How about getting calls at the crack ass of dawn and multiple texts as well as garbage in the mail? I used to love this time of year, This is Halloween, but now it’s phone on silent–hill. FFS I can’t wait for it to stop. At least I know who to vote for; so and so is for socialistic policies, reject Komrade. Ugh sorry cousin, I will vote for Komrade and go bowling.
