    That if you get out and vote in primaries and elections, you’ll get the people you want in.

    Again, this literally hasn’t mattered for the entirety of the history of the USA. I don’t want to the country to be a mass murdering super villain. I vote for anti-war people. What happens? The USA has been at war for 99% of it’s existence. Literally 7 years out of 250 were without war, and most of those 7 were when we had mass chattel slavery. Get it through your head. Even if you get the people you want into office, the Senate was designed from the beginning to be a structure that works against the voters. Literally, by design, by the founders, explicitly.

    You think a broken United States is good for the current world and you’re calling me a fool?

    The US is not broken because of who gets into office. The US is broken because it’s fundamentally broken and always has been. It’s a settler state that exist ONLY because of a papal decree. The US Supreme Court has ruled on that. And no, that wasn’t a Republican appointee, it was Ruth Bader Ginsberg who published that majority opinion. The US is broken because of what it is, not because of which leaders run it. You’re arguing that we should fix the Titanic by changing captains.

    Are you going to run when it goes down? Who the fuck would want you around?

    Listen, you big bold white masculine fuck. No one needs your brand of bullshit anymore. Your obsolete. Your world is dying. You know who talks like you do? Hegseth. Get. Bent.

      I don’t want…I vote

      I know. Well, thanks for clarifying you vote at least. Do I need to reestablish this isn’t a personal thing? I hardly think most around here, if they vote, are red voters.

      The problem is broader than those who vote well. There’s a massive subsection who can and don’t participate. Despite your view on my knowledge of the bias toward conservatives, the only easy way to a decent government on a society built on slavery and theft as I think you put it, is to vote. Well, now since you let the fascists back in it’s probably peaceful shutdown, but the options are limited to the two. That’s it. You’re not overthrowing it, the only thing you’re doing, one way or the other, is bending it to at least let you live a life.

      fundamentally broken and always has been

      Well…fix your shit. It’s your shit, the one and only shit you got and there’s limited ways to fix it. Sounds like you don’t have a lot to lose really.

      Listen, you big bold masculine fuck

      Yep, that one hits home every time. Not many of us want chickenshits mate. As has been pointed out our countries are fascist shitholes in their own way as well and we’ll have to deal with that without having to care for Americans running from a vote result.
