What you are describing is not a democracy.

I mean not really. Its more controlled by the dnc/rnc corporations. They set the only two options people get to choose between. And both of those options do the bidding of the same donors.

Like a teacher letting students vote on new paint color for the room. "Would you like to paint the room pastel purple or lavender?"

The students could vote for green(and maybe most of them prefer that if) they wanted but most don't even veiw that as an option because of the structure.

Did i say that? I said leftists in the US have never had a candidate to vote for. It has always been right wing vs fascist. Blue nice fascist vs red mean fascist.

They dont have to be identical for their policy effects to be the same.

The time and energy spent on voting and campaigning would be better spent planting gardens and building community yes. Then , AFTER you have a strong community, you can making voting easy in you area and coordinate yourselves as a larger voting bloc.

Once a critical mass of communities is organized enough to change an election, both right wings will pull the accelerationism lever as a hail mary. All the while blaming the communities organized enough to attempt protecting themselves. At no point will the ruling class allow an election to change things.

The US would be exactly the same as it is now. There has never been any left wing candidate allowed near the presidency.

Voting only matters in a functional democracy ya dork.

How does voting?

Hey, you're starting to realize how it's not actually a democracy over here.

The truthful narrative discourages people from voting huh?

Simple fact of the matter is, Voting only works in democracies.

"Voting doesnt take alot of time"

detected. Sure, white libs dont have barriers to voting like shutting down all but one polling location in their area.

Spending 4 hours at a homeless shelter or comforting a random crackhead on the street will be a greater net good for the world than spending 4 hours in line to vote for my preffered genocidal maniac.
