    This is just stupid. Ya know, pretending people believe stuff doesn’t will it into existence. And even if it did, all you’d be accomplishing here is feeling superior.

      I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you… after all, if I am wrong (and, of course, I must be) all you have to do is “vote harder” and all those “aberrations” will magically disappear as soon as you vote another smiley face “good cop” into the Waffle House.

      Is that not so?

        No, we should all take your lead and encourage everyone to not vote or vote third party, because that will fix EVERYTHING

          Oh, not at all… you’re going to vote Dem (or whatever pack of interests is masquerading as a third party in the US - as if that is really going to change anything) because no person in the US with a shred of integrity is allowed any other choice. The gaslighting demands it. You can, of course, choose not to play - but that is only slightly more meaningless.

          Take a look over there, on the sidebar - it says “US Authoritarianism,” not “US Authoritarianism With An Easy Escape Button.”

          Do you think all the homeless people in the US was made homeless because they didn’t vote? Or all the incarcerated people are in jails because they didn’t vote? It’s almost as if your vote is the last thing they rely upon to keep you in line and keep everything running the way they want, isn’t it?

          It’s a lot more than just the particular political racketeer gaslighting you from the screen of your television in an election year.

            You’re literally advocating for people to think their actions don’t matter and you’re pretending that’s serving people when it fucking isn’t.

              Holy crap… do you liberals do anything other than shoot the messenger when you’re confronted with that which you should have already figured out for yourself because it’s literally been in front of your very nose all this time?

              No, genius - I’m not the one telling you that your “actions don’t matter” - your political establishment is.

              Did you miss this part?

              Do you think all the homeless people in the US was made homeless because they didn’t vote? Or all the incarcerated people are in jails because they didn’t vote? It’s almost as if your vote is the last thing they rely upon to keep you in line and keep everything running the way they want, isn’t it?

              It’s very easy to tell when your actions actually do start mattering… wanna take a guess how, liberal?

                You continue to offer nothing but self-superiority. Trust me, no one cares about that but you.

                  Well, then, again… you have nothing to worry about - all you have to do is “vote harder” and all those “aberrations” will magically disappear as soon as you vote another smiley face “good cop” into the Waffle House.

                  You have a very strange way of demonstrating certainty in your beliefs.

                    Correction, you offer self-superiority and the veiled suggestion of a violent overthrow. You know the government would in fact care about that so you’re too cowardly to say it.

                    Notice how I’ve literally said nothing about what I believe directly and every statement I have made has just criticized your views? No, of course you haven’t noticed that. You’re too busy blaming anyone not advocating for either violence or doing nothing, for all of america’s political issues.

                    Again, helpful to no one.
