Left or right politics forcing voters to choose between two sides and ultimately become single issue voters is a deep state psy op to literally make everyone hate politics and allow oligarchical control.
Okay but the two-party FPTP system is a separate issue that we can’t immediately fix right now. The immediate issue that’s right in front of us today is whether we put up road blocks to resist fascism, or whether we tear out the few road blocks that are left.
So for someone to sit on the sidelines and say “it doesn’t matter either way because I disagree with the binary nature of the dichotomy on a matter of principle” is simply asinine.
Psy Op worked. Show me on the dotted line where the Democratic Party has acknowledged tackling and replacing the first past the post system in a serious manner? I still vote, because yes what else is there to do, but that’s the beauty of the psy op. You feel like you’re participating, but it’s just a show :)
Nope. I voted. I’m just being realistic about the psy op; My vote even for shit candidates in a non representative first past the post system serves as part of my protest.
I’m glad to hear it. Most users I see here echoing your frustrations push the “don’t vote” rhetoric. I agree votes can and should be more valuable, but even a little bit of value can accumulate enough to make some change, like the US is seeing tonight. Thanks for doing your part.
Yeah. It’s disheartening to see those who don’t vote or argue for not voting. I might not believe our current system is good, but I can’t be arsed to ask anyone to help fix it if I don’t do the basics to participate. One of the first things I’d ask of a representative government is opt out automatic voter enrollment combined with ranked choice voting, I believe we sorely need it.
No it’s mostly because liberalism and leftism are completely at odds with one and other about their ideals and how they would like to see society function.
Don’t let that stop you from continuing to be proudly a d willfully ignorant though.
making the left distrust guns is far right psy ops to literally make their opponents vote on bourgeoisie parties instead of taking the means of production
making the left distrust or be uninterested about voting is a far right psy ops to literally make their opponents not vote.

No, your psyop didn’t work actually. Your comment is only 5 hours old and it already aged like milk
🙌 I’m not part of it but sure.
murrican democratic systemic skill issue.
Murrican democracy id actually quite a crap example of democracy
It’s not an example of a democracy at all. It’s an oligarchy.
So your answer is to let them win on voting instead of fighting on every front available to you?

The left are fine thanks, I’m pretty sure you mean liberals?
Liberals are a powerful voting bloc.
Leftists spend so much time fighting with each other that they decide whoever is running isn’t left enough and decide not to vote.
Ok that’s fine, it doesn’t make liberals leftist though
But that’s mostly because liberals aren’t a useless voting bloc.
No it’s mostly because liberalism and leftism are completely at odds with one and other about their ideals and how they would like to see society function.

Leftists say they hate conservativess and liberals but they hate other leftists more.
“Splitter!”
Kinda
You don’t know any leftists in real life haha
Wasn’t the liberals screeching about Kamalas stance on Israel and telling everyone not to vote in protest, that was the left
No, actually. Lol
Yeah the liberals were fine with genocide, the left was against it. They also didn’t say not to vote, they said don’t vote for a genocidal party, lol.
And in doing so you helped elect Trump. Hope you are proud of the Iranian and Palestinian blood on your hands
murrican detected
Do you see how after my name it says “@piefed.ca”
isn’t Canada a multi party system?
Kind of, so what?

The left don’t distrust guns, liberals do. They are centrists.
Go far enough left, you get your guns back.
