Surely this means we just aren't voting hard enough

The neat part about voting is that even if you do it you can get fascism if the rest of the country are a bunch of fucking idiots.

Politicians will never save us. The democrats won’t; the republicans won’t. Anywhere. Ever. Period.

Here is an example of a successful third party in a 2 party FPTP voting system that people keep insisting is impossible in the US because "muh RCV required"

The Democrats suck but there's a huge difference between voting for boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil. Don't make me tap the chart.

"boring corporatists" are destroying our planet and making it unlivable.

boring corporatists just committed genocide

What's the huge difference in outcome? Why is voting the only type of action being considered?

The "boring corporatists" in germany put Hitler in power btw

And there's a huge difference between fifty degrees below zero and absolute zero. But both are lethal to humans if exposed to it for a night.

Can you tell us how the Dems are going to reform the voting system so that people's choices are fairly represented? No? They have no plans for that because they perceive themselves as beneficiaries of a broken electoral system? Wow it's almost as if they're self interested crooks themselves

Edit: people downvoting this are the same people who'd hear about coca cola paramilitaries in South America and then switch to Fanta, thinking they're voting with their wallets

Good. Since we're the deciding factor, we have increased influence and more negotiating power going forward. Now the democrats (whose slogan is also "No rights!") might actually listen to our demands next time if they don't want to eat shit again.

And if they still won't, then it's obviously necessary to replace them and that has to start somewhere.
