    There are plenty of the problems with the US voting system. They are not relevant to the discussion about voter apathy in the next election.

    A basic history class refutes your arguments position. We live in a liberal democracy. Presidents are elected. We have a two party voting system.

    All your argument does is parrot Russian propaganda and engage in ad hominen attacks. It must be real hard to argue with anyone when your arguments lack substance and rely on alternate facts.

    A fascist takeover by the Republicans will result in America becoming a christofascist dictatorship. It does not follow that Americans should allow fascists to create a worse political system because of the flaws in American democracy. We should instead address the flaws in our democracy directly. In order to do that, American democracy must survive this election. The only way to do that peacefully is to vote for Joe Biden.

      I literally studied history at university lmao. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

      But sure let’s discredit everyone as a Russian propagandist and Khamas supporter or whatever.

      The US is a two party bourgeois dictatorship. There’s no such thing as American “democracy”.

      Also as a Muslim, I will never ever support Joe Biden who’s a mass murderer of my people and no other Muslim I know will either. I will not get blackmailed with “but Trump”, they can both rot in hell.

        I studied history at college too. You really think you can trick people into thinking America isn’t a democracy?

        If you don’t want to be called out for parroting Russian propaganda then don’t parrot Russian propaganda.

        We have elections. People vote in them. A person denying reality when they clearly know better doesn’t absolve them of their civic duty.

        Trump will kill more people. This isn’t black mail. He is has made his intentions public. The most effective way to stop Trump from killing more people is to vote for Biden.

          North Korea has elections too. It’s a one party state though, which is only a one party difference from the US two party system. That is not what anyone outside the US calls a democracy.

          Both will kill people. I won’t support ANY mass murderer. If Trump wins, at least he’s completely incompetent and there’s a chance he’ll destroy the United States, which imo would be a good thing.

          How about you don’t promote imperialist propaganda for a country that has terrorized the entire world for decades and has killed millions of people in its numerous wars.
