  • The reality is both parties hate everybody but the corporate managerial class and want to kill everyone for infinite growth. The idea that voting is somehow an endorsement is idiocy.

    You pick the party least enthusiastic about killing you or you’re a moron. Bernie sanders is an anomoly. The democrats never once treated trump as an existential thing - they see the next election as an opportunity to finally capture the right as voters which is their only plan.

    If the realization that democrats want us all dead upsets you, you don’t understand how this oligarchy works. They still fear being out of power because it means disfavor of the oligarchs, but they would never attempt winning an election by disregarding the oligarchs.

    So the choice isn’t which one you endorse (as only a crazy person would endorse this system) its which one is gonna fuck you up the least.


  • I would argue democrat donors preferred a trump win and preferred dem turnout be low because they had a decent campaign for a second and shut it down.

    What your saying only makes sense if you operate from the idea dems want to win and not that they want to hand a victory their donors.

    In 2016 actual democrat operative tried to twistpeople’s arms to vote. This election that energy did not come from the mainstream democrats. Their pitch was “we don’t need you, we want republicans instead”.

    The calculus is different when you recognize both parties hate you.





  • Its just corporations having it both ways:

    When corporations benefit: Americans can read like 900 pages of fine print a minute and are all legal scholars.

    When it doesn’t benefit corps: Americans are cows, its offensive you’re trying to make these morons fill out multiple choice papers, they might accidentally poke out an eye on the pens.

    Reality: people have limits but RCV ballots are not too complicated. We see it all the time with roundabouts. When new roundabout is put in a few drivers take some time to adjust but eventually they figure it out.

    The change is harder to deal with than the actual thing.
