The average USian votes every 4 years, at best. I'm with DSA so obviously I know there's more going on and I'm personally more active than the average USian. But I'm not deluded to think most people are voting in midterms, primaries, township votes, etc

No, voting every 4 years between one capitalist war monger vs the other capitalist war monger doesn't work.

Voting in a capitalist system is why we're here in this mess. From pac money to [anti] voter laws to gerrymandering to banning 3rd party candidates, voting is a complete and utter sham disguised to give us agency over our lives. It's anything but...

Voting for the "lesser evil" is also why we're here in this mess. It doesn't work. At all.

We aren't "mad" at your comment. It's just naive and wrong.

While I miss forums and "old internet" in general, reddit-style threads is a zillion times better.

I think what people actually miss is pre-corporate, pre-botted internet, where everything felt more real, personal, and insightful.

There are protests damn near every week... I've gone to at least 20 this year

I like DDG but it just uses bing under the hood.

I actually prefer Brave. (Though brave has been caught fiddling the results)

They all kind of suck in their own way. Brave or DDG gets the job done 99%nof the time.
