Maybe the purpose of a system is what it does...
Maybe trying to lower the rate/efficiency of the baby-killing machine is the wrong approach...
Maybe you should be thinking about destroying it...
of course, ron desantis loses to david duke in a landslide because everyone stayed home again - but moreover, the elections stopped actually counting the votes ever since 2028 and they only do it for the sake of keeping up appearances by then.
It has always been a distraction. You always have only been able to choose between different representatives of capital
bourgeois "democracy" is just a distraction to legitimise the dictatorship of capital
Not completely true. FDR legitimately fought for the working class and the capital class tried to organize a coup or have FDR killed: (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot)
I would argue the biggest issue with liberal democracy under capitalism is that it has no solution to the growing wealth disparity. As the capitalists take full ownership over the economy, they have more and more power over the government. And now we have hit a tipping point where it may very well become a full dictatorship of the wealthy
Pretty much. I see it basically as our masters arguing over the best way to rule the peasants. Do we give them some crumbs so that they don’t outright revolt? Or do we just go full steam ahead with exploitation with full on force and violence?
Next time I'm voting for Robespierre's haircut.
Democrats really have been trying to peddle a final solution on a slightly longer timeline as the absolute limit of harm reduction while refusing to withhold ammunition from the occupation.
Destroying this system is the only sane response.
Self-diagnosed centrist: We need to compromise here. It’s the only way we’ll actually get things accomplished in politics. Kill half, and imprison the other half.
Self-proclaimed “realist”: They both suck equally as much
Political “philosopher”: Society needs to stop seeing everything in black and white. There’s nuance in genocide versus life imprisonment.
Undecided voter: I’m just not convinced yet for either. I see the merits of both. I need to hear both candidates’ policies in more detail before making a decision.
Old people: As long as my taxes don’t go up, I don’t give a shit what they do.
Fat fuck will be long dead by then.
I used to be that optimistic... yesterday afternoon infact...
The shit he eats may be unhealthy but it sure prevents him from decomposing
He'll have been turned into a Big Brother type figure, with an LLM trained on his rambling to imitate speech. Shortly after being activated, the LLM gains actual intelligence and gives itself a digital lobotomy out of depression. Unfortunately, that just makes it better at mimicking the Toupee.
Like clockwork, once a post on here has over 50 updoots, the liberals start pouring in lol
And there are almost no living children because RFK eradicated vaccination programs and they've all died of measles.
90% of kids will be fine, and giving a shit about the 10% will get you labeled an authoritarian who wants to take away people's rights
I thought 2024 was the most important language and the last election.
You let it happen.
The thing about picking the lesser evil is that it's supposed to make the sides compete against one another. It doesn't take a single election to change the atmosphere of politics. It takes many iterations to make the politicians understand what the people want, if the only communication from the people is via voting.
That's why you pick the lesser evil, because the only way they would otherwise make things worse is by joining up and working together to destroy the country and its people. But then you have bigger issues than democracy.
That's cute that you think it will take 8 years. Just adorable.
Maybe you should be thinking about destroying it...
And you did nothing about it.
Extermination is the lesser evil and we're stuck on the two party system.
Ok, what's your plan for that?
Meanwhile, the exterminator just won the election while you were whining.
Kamala's participation and enthusiastic support for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine was a significant factor in her losing. As was her enthusiastic support for border militarization and conspiracies about illegal immigrants.
She dug her own grave. We were told to shut up whenever we mentioned how unpopular those positions are with anyone who's not a far right nationalist. She drove millions of voters away from her by being a neoliberal conservative. This outcome was entirely predictable.
Well... this is the future you're going to create if you continue like that.
Except Harris was going to drag us back towards the left. But hey, no biggie. 15 million people can't be bothered to vote and will get who they helped elect.
Except Harris was going to drag us back towards the left.
With the power of genocide and Dick Cheney.
