    I don’t know – It feels like we should be able to use the internet to make grass roots new and hard to corrupt political movements but I don’t see that happening at all.

    There’s also the 250 year empire rule which we’re at now against stability with the current system.

    I honestly have no answer other than a “vote or die” but we all know that doesn’t work.

      The answer is you vote or we lose democracy. That’s the simple end-all be-all answer here.

      Biden might not be what every single leftist wants, but I guaranfuckingtee that it won’t just be illegal aliens in his camps. It will be you as well.

      I personally don’t want to live in Gilead. I don’t want to fight in a civil war. I’d rather much prefer we vote in Biden, let the Silent/Boomers die off, so we can fix this shit.

        I can almost smell the Gen X coming off your grim resignation to boomer die off as a new beginning. We’ve waited impotently for so long.

        yeah but that just kicks the can down the road, not that I disagree or anything. I don’t know of any real solution.

        The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.

          Okay so what’s your option then?

          Because sitting out wont do anything, and acting like nothing is happening for people is also not doing any good.
