Fox News won’t bother mentioning this to their viewers.

    They are getting crushed anyway.

    Even without “both sides”, the situation worldwide is fucked. And “neither side” is going to change much. Yes, one is worse, but the better side still offers a bandaid over a gushing wound.

    So I don’t really blame them.

      We just need to help them understand the system better. I voted third-party when was young, and many of my friends abstained. That was due to a lack of education about our government. It’s not about swaying them to vote one way or the other, but just to help them understand how our system functions. After that, if they want to vote for Trump with conviction, so be it. At least it’ll be an informed decision.

        I will say it: fuck the system.

        The sooner it’s gone, the better.

        It won’t be pretty, but this isn’t leading us to paradise either, we are killing the planet and can’t even take the foot off the gas.

        We need a hard reset, and it’s coming. In the best scenario, the system is taken down before the enviromental collapse.

          Are you an accelerationist? Do you believe making things worse faster will lead to systemic change for the better?

            I believe the current path is leading to a bad ending, guaranteed.

            And all I’m saying is that I don’t blame young people who may think other options might lead to something better.

              Anyone who believes there are more than two choices in this election was poorly educated on American democracy. I know I was when I voted Green Party at 20 years old. If I can help educate those that are as ill-informed as I was, I feel it’s my duty. After that, the choice is theirs.

                The whole point I’m trying to make is that the system doesn’t work, voting lesser of two evils never helped in any meaningful way.

                We need to stop capitalism, or we will all die, or at the very least suffer greatly.

                That’s the whole point.

                I’m not from the US, so I can’t vote for either side anyway, but we are all fucked. I watch the children and feel sorry for letting them down. They will not grow up into a world of peace and prosperity, only desolation and dystopia.

                So while yes, Orange man very bad, the system will kill us anyway. Fascism will take your country, but capitalism took our entire planet.
