    I’m a third party voter who didn’t go to the polls this time for the reasons you’re saying and I can’t see myself ever going again.

      That’s okay, many of us that don’t believe in electoralism are instead getting organized in order to make change in our communities and to be ready when the two big parties fall. Try seeing if there’s a PSL or FRSO chapter in your area, or head out to a protest on Jan 20 and keep an eye out for orgs you might join. Orgs like this have given me a lot of hope for the future :)

      Hopefully that’s cause you think there won’t be a vote that matters instead of just because you didn’t like how this one went.

      Voting. Voting at all even if it’s for nothing but a blank box is better than staying at home and wasting even the protest.

          Or you play all your hands you have until you have a winning one. And don’t hold out for a lucky draw that you get enough people to agree to do that specific thing.

          You aren’t incorrect about being a willful participant but you end up it either way, willingly or unwilling. At least you don’t end up waiting for an Ace that your opponent might be holding onto that you never get it.

          You are just in the desire to be violent. To get out what you think you are owed to dish out on others. But it’s not actually a plan or productive cause what happens next? Hmm? Keep killing until it’s all fixed? Bonkers.

            I don’t recognise that fixing anything is possible. I’m not hoping for a better future. I’m wanting to end everything.

              That sucks. Hope you find something to keep going for.

              I think I’m aiming for the nicest cup of tea. Or softest cuddle. Then I can want the end of everything. But not a moment before.

              Best of luck with getting your end or not.
