I mean the frustration is real, but the channels are what are accused of being engineered.
The don't vote and protest vote crowds are basically purpose built to make it as hard as possible for America to even slow itself down, let alone begin reversing course.
"I have serious objections to the major legacies of discrimination and failures to address poverty in this country! Let's take the exact actions that make it more likely for power to end up in the hands of the people who think the problem is we're not doing enough of that!"
That is the narrative people accuse Russia and China of spreading, and it's hardly a coincidence that this crescendos in exactly two times, 1) just before an election, and 2) just after a major consequence comes down as a result of the election that was meddled with.
I'm pretty sure that at least at the Old Place, despair-trolling is very much a thing,
Right-wing boiler-room operations, Putin's troll farms, and independent dick heads have lots of reasons to sow apathy and despair.

im not voting for the red genociders or blue genociders, im not participating in your little clown show of a 'democracy' you got here in the USA
Are you discussing ways of fixing your political system in your third spaces? Are you organizing grassroots political movements that want to break the status quo and the class wars? Or are you just antagonizing everyone on the internet over a zero-sum choice you made up in your head? Or maybe you're just agitating because you find it funny? Either way, you are not contributing positively to this issue, and your tribalism shows.
Didn't the "vote for Genocide Joe he's the lesser of two evils" win last time? How's that going for the votées?
Better than the alternative.
Same as always. Badly, but not as badly as if we had voted to end democracy with Trump.
Marching slowly towards a cliff is no better than doing it quickly. Unless the course is changed the outcome will be the same.
That doesn't mean it's okay to sprint off the edge without a parachute. Of course we're working to change course too. It's not an overnight thing.
Well he's one of the most productive presidents in modern history even in spite of the congressional odds stacked against him, so pretty well all things considered.
How are all those judges that Trump got to appoint because of the pretentious assholes who insist on calling Biden "Genocide Joe" doing?
Biden actually just tried to hide the arms deal with israel because he hates democracy and loves genocide.

But let's keep deflecting by pointing to orange man that's all the Biden dreamers got going for them now.
You know you're talking to a real leftist when they walk right up to the line of unironically quoting "orange man bad"
That's a line that a real leftist would totally be able to choke out before instinctively committing ritual suicide out of how idiotic it would be to say that.
I'm just simplifying your amazing arguments that are so morally void that the only reason you're defending one party is that the other party is worse.
I'm not stupid enough to vote for either of those parties.
