      Most people who think voting will change anything also think it’s the only way to change anything. So it’s helpful to suggest specific direct action alternatives.

        True, but it doesn’t work at all. The illusion of representation is finally being exposed so that the masses can see what’s going on. No matter who is voted for and wins, only a two party system will be allowed (that’s who the elite control) and they aren’t letting go of that power. So, until those go away, we eat shit.

          Is the problem having two parties or that voting is bad. Because you are argueing voting is bad, due to there only being two parties and that is just not true for a lot of countries. You could for example use proportional representation instead of first past the post in the US, which would allow for more different parties serving more specific groups to be elected. Would you still call for people to not vote in that case?
