    Never voting again sounds good to me, since that way people would realize how pointless it is. Unfortunately neither option will lead to that outcome and people will pat themselves on the back after voting for the Capitalist party.

      Ah yes, not participating. The way to change the system is to not participate. All we have to do is let the republicans win, so they can make being gay illegal, abolish no-fault divorce, and re-introduce christian indoctrination in the classroom. Then everyone will finally realize it’s all stupid and they’ll release all the gay criminals and atheist teachers from jail and say “Sorry! Thanks for not voting, now we realize both parties were the problem!”

      You would probably still vote but there would only be one party to vote for. Voting might become mandatory too

        The Capitalist party is who you will be voting for, so materially what is the difference?

          We’d be voting for the Nazi party, silly. Any other party would be declared a terrorist organization and all members would be arrested or worse.

            Oh that sounds terrible. So we should vote for a party who doesn’t agree with, doesn’t support, and doesn’t call those people friends while they hangout at the same fund raising parties right?

              Right now the options are limited. Neither are good but one is terrible and dangerous for the U.S. and the world.

            Fortunately The Hand Maiden’s tale is Tom Clancy for liberals and also not real. So maybe come back to reality and look at material conditions, like say our ever growing homeless population, and the fact that we have more vacant houses then homeless people. Ask yourself who benefits from that, and then ask yourself why you are voting for those people and telling others to vote for those people.

                Hey it’s developed by the Heritage foundation, you know the ones who gave us Obama Care, so I don’t see what the problem is. Also that is fever dream.

                I have a manifesto too, it’s called Full Communism now. We will address material conditions.

                  It’s such a fever dream that they’re already doing everything they can to implement it when Trump is elected!

                  But, again, you’re probably not a minority, so you have nothing to worry about.

                    And you probably aren’t in Gaza so you have nothing to worry about either. You are voting for Genocide, and you proudly support it.

      Are you saying there are no differences at all between which party is in power? That people’s loves aren’t objectively better under one party than another?

        If it ends in guillotining the currently political dynasty’s that would be a far better outcome then what we currently have.

          Definitely. A monarchy will definitely be better than what we have now if it means Biden gets his head lopped off. Logic.

            Not just Biden. Plus the monarchy won’t actually last that long so we can finally have some reform. But really I don’t know where you are getting this idea of a monarchy being instituted anyway. That’s weird liberal Tom Clancy bullshit.
