Current US government is shutdown down because the two sides can’t come to an agreement on a budget to include if health care protections should be stripped from some of the most vulnerable.
The people engaged in that decision are there because they were chosen in elections. Trump is president because he was chosen in an election. SCOTUS is stacked with Republican justices because the people that get to pick them were put there in elections.
America still has elections and though the choices may not be great the results are not (yet) predetermined; one of those options is undeniably better. My next election I get to vote on if all children in public school should have access to food.
Yeah, the electoral system is deeply flawed but there’s really only two ways to change it–replace the government by force or replace the government by electing people willing to push reforms in enough numbers to do something about it. It’s the system we find ourselves in and participation is not an endorsement, but a means to an end.
It should never be “just Vote,” but instead “Vote and.” If you can spend hours at protests, feeding those in need, hosting theory book clubs, studying, engaging in activism, etc then you can take 1 hour a year to vote.
Seeing as you have not done that yet, it would appear that voting would be, well, more than you have done :) How do you justify your complacency and subjugation to the system you pretend to loathe?
I need a few liberals to stop being smug little pieces of shit and get off their asses to help. so whever you finally feel like enough minorities have been killed, lemme know.

Abolish the system, and you abolish the problems with it.
I agree, how do you propose we do that? In my comment you just replied to I laid out two options–did you have a third?
yes. organized and armed resistance, followed by methodical purging of fascists afterwards. think kirk neck fountains, but on a larger scale.
That would be the first proposal:
awesome, let’s do that then.

As a part of at least one of those minorities: fuck you!
You let me know why you thought not filling out a slip of paper was more important than the lives of my brothers and sisters.
I did vote, shitstain, in every election that I’ve been old enough to participate in. I also vote in my local elections.
wanna try again?
Uh oh, seems they werent anticipating a truly active member of society.
Are you the one who’s going to decide who is Fascist and who isn’t? By what criteria exactly?
