    A system that only allows you to choose between two enthusiastic war criminals should be given up on. There is no saving or reforming such a system. An election boycott and riots in the street are a preferable choice as far as I’m concerned.

        I’m not doing shit about electoral reform. I would like to understand exactly the kind of optimism it takes to believe that meaningful electoral reform is a real possibility. Give me your realistic roadmap to a materially better system, accomplished through reforming the current one. I don’t expect a detailed plan, but what are the broad strokes?

          So you refuse to engage in the system and refuse to try to replace it? What the fuck are you doing here complaining? You have no right to complain, you’re literally doing nothing and watching the ship sink around you and shouting “hey! This sucks! I sure wish it was different!” How about you help fix it? Literally what are you doing like why would you do this you’re wasting everyone’s time

            What do you want me to say? I do what I can. I could tell you at least some of what I do, but I doubt it would satisfy you. Hell, tbh it doesn’t really satisfy me. Are you satisfied with what you are doing? I’m assuming you’re doing more than just guaranteeing Biden your vote and arguing with me. If I’m wasting anyone’s time it’s my own, you are free to scroll on.

              Arguing with strangers on the internet isn’t doing shit, mate. Tell us two things you do IRL besides that and maybe you won’t look like a neckbeard keyboard warrior.
