      STFU with your useless cynicism. You sound like a loser who’s already given up. We don’t need people like you.

      Literally attempting anything is better than doing nothing. The least we can do is improve education by having local politicians put more tax spending into public schools, so as to develop less defeatist losers, or less racists, less fascists, less religious fundamentalists, less tankies.

          You could at least not comment on it and go rot off to the side somewhere while us grown ups try to fix all the problems for you.

          Hey, if you’ve given up already, would you mind voting third party so as to help disrupt the two party system? Kthxbye.

              It’s only a waste because everyone thinks so. That’s propaganda from the parties on top to keep themselves on top.

                  I assume you’re referring to Trump. I do not want Trump as president. I will not support Trump’s candidacy. But he was president for a whole 4 years and didn’t cause major permanent damage to the country. If he somehow manages to become president again, I don’t think he’s going to destroy the country.

                  On the other hand, if the blue party automatically gets a pass on every candidate because everyone thinks it’s them or fascism, they are functionally a one party system. That’s how you get blue fascists.

                  Despite what they say, not every election is the most important election in American history. They’ve been playing that game for a while. The reason they say it so much is because it gets people thinking in the short term, and in the short term, the dichotomy prevails.

                  Is the blue party actually good for the country? Or are they just better than the opposition? Do you want a party that will actually dare to stand up to big oil? Because despite their talking points, the blue party isn’t doing all that much about it, are they?

                  If you want to be able to vote for something instead of just against the enemy, you need more choices than just the enemy and the blue-flavored people who tell you they’re so much different. Vote third party and show them that we won’t play their game anymore.
