      Amen, if the fascists don’t kill me for being a Palestinian, it’ll be the white leftists giving me a fatal aneurysm lecturing at me about how letting the fascists win again will totally help my cause that I just want to feel assured that my government isn’t looking for ways to officially enlist the Klan as a morality police.

      the tracks are capitalism.

      weve been on this track for a long time, through republicans and democrats in power.

      The train tracks are the influence of the bourgeoisie and their allies as they perform hatred judo.

      was voting and presidency meant to feel like a Pachinko machine? (or Peggle) where you launch the balls, and you are separated by acrylic and have no control past the first bounce.

        I don’t quite get why you’re being downvoted because that’s honestly how I feel, and I don’t even live in the U.S. I feel like it applies pretty well to Sweden as well. At least there are options here that are like a 60% match with my personal viewpoints, but there’s no such thing as a perfect fit.

          It may be that I (accedentially or not) compared the quality of indirect democracy’s quality of outcome to gambling. Or im secretly making a larger more radical stance, somthing, somthing, revisionist social democricy has failed here, somthing, somthing.

      Your iDiOtIc CaSe is no substitution for a valid counteaargument. Neither of your parties represent the interest of the people. Get a third one.

        Americans have two ethical choices in the upcoming election:

        • Change the system before election day and vote 3rd party
        • Vote for Biden

        That’s it. Voting 3rd party without changing the system prior is not an ethical choice, for it enables fascism.

          And it’s gonna be this way until it deteriorates into absolute dysfunction, isn’t it? Because so far it’s been 0 times they went “good grief, crisis averted, the right sports team won the election, and now is the time we fix the system”. It’s always a crisis after a crisis after a crisis.
