how many times do i have to say it

how many

the frump is but a puppet, beholden to the oligarchs and required by his own selfishness to maintain the status quo.

I really don't understand how people buy Trump. I mean, I'll still take him over Clinton, strictly for wildcard factor, but he's almost worse in his flip flopping and playing to crowds. Both of their appeals to populism are hollower than chocolate rabbits.

Dude, you don't have to preach to me, you think I don't understand this how our country works?

don't vote. change the system or build a new one and use it.

Not even gonna touch that

after talking to thousands of people,

no offense meant,

but no, i don't.

the vast majority have no clue.

the vast majority think voting has effect on policy.

I don't think elections matter much at all either, I'm on v/conspiracy aren't I? But I also think a big part of why they matter so little is this exact attitude. Its your voice as a citizen, guaranteed by our constitution, and just cause no ones listening doesn't mean you shouldn't let it sing. How much effort does it really take to vote? There are third parties, which would get FEC funding if they can pass a surprisingly low threshold of votes. You can even write-in a protest vote. The point is crossing your arms and not even making the minimal effort to use the tools given to you as a citizen is not helping to "change the system or build a new one and use it."

Cool bro, keep on doing that. We truly are blessed to have people so smart like you to have figured all this out. I'm sure you're doing so much else to "change the system or build a new one and use it."

coming from someone who can barely participate on a socnet, that means so much

enjoy the koolade!
