Elections are in some way a validation of the system. The elites point to the election any time someone complains about some policy. The entire system has been consistently getting worse regardless of who is in power for at least 30+ years. The only way we have to express our displeasure is to vote out the incumbent. I'm confident that even if Kamala had won, things would have gotten worse. Maybe they would be worse at a slower rate, but they would be worse. We need to see beyond electoral politics. Every time you vote, you are granting the rich permission to continue to fuck you regardless of who you voted for.
The majority of eligible voters already don't vote. Low voter turnout does not embarrass the rich and powerful, it just makes the system easier to control. Fewer voters means fewer people to answer to, fewer people to influence, and fewer people to shuffle around through gerrymandering.
For fuck sake, they are consistently trying to make it harder for people to vote. They want lower turnout. They know their most loyal supporters will still vote. They'd much rather have their base be the only ones bothering to show up to the polls. They don't care about legitimacy, they care about winning.
And do you think that, by refraining from voting, you would somehow deny the rich that permission? That's probably why all the openly corrupt, unapologetically authoritarian politicians go out of their way to ensure everyone is able to cast a ballot, right? Because they know that, the more people vote, the more permission the rich will have to fuck everyone. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your enlightened contribution here.
Hey man there's other ways to get their dick out of your ass. Lenin, Fidel and Mao figured it out.
Sure. Start the revolution. We're all waiting for you.
That is... Unless you're full of shit and won't be the first one to raise your fist right? Just waiting for everyone else to do the dirty work of the revolution right? Why aren't you in the papers yet for your revolutionary work?
Give it time bro, we're all working on something together. Just don't act like staying the course is the only choice
