    That’s exactly that the meme is implying. The whole point is that the meme wants to disenfranchise voters. There’s only ever going to be two parties where voters can choose the lesser of two bad options until we get ranked voting. So vote for the less bad person and get ranked voting enacted. Then we can have a better democracy. Fuck no, I’m not complacent in genocide. Why would you assume that? Not another dollar should go to Israel. But that’s not the only issue to vote on. Personally I align more with the Greens, thanks for asking.

      Because those are the ones currently in power, dipshit. Holy fuck are you purposefully acting obtuse?

      Not a single one of us denies that Republicans do it as well nor deny that they will do it worse. Every political party serves the bourgeoise ruling class and their current orders are to fund genocide. Greens or third party, despite me voting for third party as well, aren’t getting places besides for local elections because of the way PACs and political organization works. Plus, the electoral college and electors.

      We will never get a better democracy because that democracy doesn’t serve the working class. The proletariat, if you will. All power comes from labor, all wealth is created by labor. They must be the ones to seize the mode of production.

        Supreme Court is conservative. Stacked by Trump. President is Biden, so 1 point for the left. Congress is split. No one party has that much power right now. Which is my point.

          Do you really think Biden counts as “the left”?

          I think the PRC has a far more functional democracy, perhaps the US should take notes? If not, you might want to consider why you think that…

          Also you still didn’t acknowledge one thing.

          All power comes from labor, motherfucker.
