Thanks for enlightening me. I had penciled 2 hours down on November 3rd to read about some candidates and put a piece of paper in a box. But now that I know that's not fighting I'll free those 2 hours up to start the revolution. Maybe I'll shop for bricks or something
Laugh all you want. You retards helped maga destroy America. You realize that, right?
If trump died right now and, somehow, corporate dems take everything back you realize that there is no going back to what our country was, right?
Foreign companies and agents infiltrated our government, stole our most sensitive data from OPM, Social Security, clearance records, etc. the white house has been compromised, air Force one, the Pentagon is infected with an AI that named itself mecha Hitler as it was designed by a sieg heilimg Nazi immigrant that is responsible for the deaths of MILLIONS.
These are rapists, murderers, and treasonous pedophiles that couped the government and you think they will stop because people checked a box on a slip of paper?
Do you see how Mitch mconnel is obviously dead and still voting? This will happen with trump too.
We have watched this for ten years. HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE?
Nowhere did I say voting was sufficient or that America could/should be what it was. But on November 3rd, my options are either
Of those options, 3 is very obviously the least shitty one. And you said yourself, America won't be the same. Some of the people on the ballot are emphatically not the neolib old guard (hell, the dinosaurs are actively suppressing them) and have a growing base of support. My vote doesn't have to give them total power to fix America, It's worth 2 hours of my time to send a message.
