    Obama FEMA Boncentration Bamps!
    He’s coming for yer gunz!

    They repeat the same lie over and over and over again, and these one-dimensional simpletons swallow the entire thing, time after time after time.
    The problem is, these one-dimensional simpletons vote.

    And you know who doesn’t vote? The other type of simpleton who swallows that other cherry-picking lie, over and over and over again: bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe.

      I would however like to clarify that neither Republicans nor Democrats will solve the systemic issues in any meaningful way, and it’s not saying “both sides are the same” to point this out. I literally voted for Biden, but I still have Democrats accuse me of “voting for Trump” when I point out ways the Democrats do things like uphold a capitalist economy, extend the reach of fascist agencies like ICE, take power away from the working class, compromise with right-wing extremists, and observe a hierarchical system.

      I can agree that Republicans are far worse, and I can cast my vote, while still being honest about the situation.

      I read your “time after time after time” as “time after time” with the Cindy Lauper song. It really threw me off for a minute.

      Well, they are over here… and I do vote, just scratch out everyone.

        If you don’t vote for anything, you aren’t actually voting, just wasting time. No one cares that there’s a spoiled ballot. It has 0 impact.

        Not voting signals to politicians that they don’t need to care about your vote or you in general.

          Really? I thought it signalled that I don’t like either of the choices 🤔… maybe get them thinking about the representatives they select to put on the voting lists.

            They only care about appealing to people who they know vote. Your silent protest is very easy to ignore.

              If there were more silent potesters, you would think they’d actually wonder why that is happening 🤔.

                No they’d just be happy that there’s less people they have to convince to vote for them. Less people voting means it’s easier to pass policies that enrich them. You aren’t doing some meaningful protest, you’ve removed yourself from the conversation.

                There’s tons of money in seeding voter apathy and people like you are why. They get you to remove your own voice and make you think you’re hurting them and not yourself.

                  I am not hurting myself, it doesn’t make the slightest difference to me if one party or the other wins. I just don’t want my vote stolen, I’d rather it burned.

                  In the end, it’s my vote… the same as the hillbilly with down syndrome. If he can choose, so can I.

                    No one’s saying you can’t do anything. I’m simply explaining that your “protest” is ignorable at best and actively beneficial to the people you hate at worst.
