I know nothing should surprise me with these fucking people at this point, but my mouth still dropped open when I read that.

    Great, I mean you guys keep saying this. I’ve been hearing it from Americans for decades. Maybe that’s the problem, you guys always have this defeatist attitude like “well if the system was better” well it isn’t, so work within it, or you personally get out there and work to change it. Otherwise there’s nothing you can really do but complain. You don’t get to just complain online about a lack of change, you actually have to go out there and help in some way physically

      Working within the system would mean to collectively vote for a third party with positions that aren’t as far right as the Democrats. This is why the goons of the system made so much effort to discredit this approach and tell people that voting “the lesser of two evils” is as good as it gets, while also hyping up the next election as the all deciding one, so no one develops long term political strategies against the Oligarchy.

      I never said I’m American, I live in a place with more than two parties. It’s not perfect but it’s a hell of a lot better than if there were only two.
