@benroyce I feel so desperately sorry for this man.

@clintruin @benroyce @quizzicus Then you fucking vote for him. Two years in to this fucking disaster and this is *STILL* a question?

@frequencyfault @benroyce @clintruin @quizzicus People are dying in Ukraine and Gaza and lots of other places so you can feel pure. I'm American but when folks outside the US argue that the US is filled with self-absorbed fuckwits, folks like you are why I've stopped all disagreement.
This is exactly how Hitler rose to power. A selection of German leftists and centrists refused to work together. We're just determined to replay the first half of the 20th century again. Well done.

@benroyce @frequencyfault @clintruin @quizzicus
primaries are such low turnout. I once elected myself to precinct committeeman by writing my name in on a 'no candidates' spot. got lots of invitations to $100/plate fundraisers. party wanted me to go door-to-door with flyers. did some but not that into politics. A poli-sci class in college got me interested in voting. A jazz class got me going to local bar bands.

@benroyce I can only see half the comments here (all yours), and this is why we're preparing for the next regime in the US to be Republican.
The tighty righties all know that, no matter what, they have to vote the same way, and have to vote each and every time the opportunity presents itself.
The left it's constitutionally incapable of doing anything like that.

Are you being willfully dumb? How about you ask Iran why bases on a border can be perceived as an aggression.
Also note how your reading comprehension is still lacking. At no point did I justify mass murder or genocide.

@benroyce @frequencyfault @clintruin @quizzicus Even the most corporate Dems can be convinced to put pressure on Israel. Dems can feel pressure from their base. The GOP cannot. The GOP will help keep right-wingers in power everywhere and support them. The GOP will get many more Palestinians killed, and many more suffering similarly elsewhere in the world. They’re already killing millions abandoning USAID and other policies.
I don’t know what to say other than “voting in any way other than to remove fascists from power is to assist in their evil.”
Eliminate fascists first. Fight like hell to replace left-wing cowardice next. There really is no other moral position in this shitty voting system. (Fight like hell to reform that, too.)

@athayes @benroyce @clintruin @quizzicus They haven't yet. The last president sold them weapons to kill kids.

@benroyce @clintruin @quizzicus Have at it. Dems need to earn my vote by not being centrist, Republican-leaning dipshits. If they refuse, I guess life has to keep sucking. I will look out for my neighbors locally, the rest of you can do what you want.
The USA is not going to be saved by voting for Republican-lite (Democrats) just because all conservatives are fascist scum and are very involved. You'd think Dems would field better candidates but nope...they don't.
-
@benroyce @clintruin @quizzicus I don't care about the USA in general. It's a hopelessly racist, morally bankrupt shithole. Everyone should look out for their own.
Frankly, I'm tired of getting this account sucked into these stupid political arguments. It's a music account. Art can be political, but this is just pointless. I reject your position that voting is the answer. End of story.
If nobody wants to do anything EXCEPT vote then Americans deserve what's happening. They KILL protesters.

@benroyce @clintruin @quizzicus The French are literally fighting openly with cops in the streets. Americans march on weekends and wait to be ALLOWED to vote. Pretty ridiculous.

@clintruin @weyoun6 @frequencyfault @quizzicus
which you get BY VOTING. you want el-sayed right? so you tell people to get off their fucking asses and vote for the democrat el-sayed
right?
you understand that is what works?
and "everything the same nothing matters nothing changes waah waah waah" is just useless empty loser shit, right?
@benroyce
Electoral politics is about power and coalitions. Purity pledges are for fundamentalist high school students.
If you refuse to make any coalitions, you get no power.
@clintruin @weyoun6 @frequencyfault @quizzicus -
@benroyce
"Democrats don't get anything done."
"Do you give them any power?"
"No"
"Then how do you expect them to get anything done?"
"They can have power after they get stuff done."THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!!!

"I don't care about the USA in general"
excellent
so i stopped reading there
and now you prove you don't care by shutting your useless violent ignorant mouth
let those of us who do care get stuff done. you aren't doing anything, you don't care, and your words are stupid violent shit

what does iran have to do with anything. another "bases on borders requires genocidal imperialism" scenario is just another wrongdoing
oh i see now! you're doing a whataboutism
and you are justifying genocide and mass murder: that is what russia is doing. and you are supporting their stupid weak lies for doing that
do you think you're a clever troll by denying the radioactively obvious? you just look like a fucking idiot. or, you're not trolling and you're just a fucking idiot

I came up with a new name: politikaren = someone who doesn't do anything politically except complain. They refuse to vote for the best available option; all they can think to do is "send back the salad".

@frequencyfault @benroyce @clintruin @quizzicus Rest of the world doesn’t give a shit about the US anymore. You go ahead and refuse to vote. We will all watch from the outside and laugh as your country slips into oblivion.

right?
these fucking losers loudly proclaiming their high holy outrage to not vote
when that is exactly the source of our problems
these stupid nonvoting assholes, and MAGA, are why we are where we are today
