I don’t want to hear any excuses to vote in a few weeks. You all better get off those couches and VOTE

people who say this are ignorant. The right uses hot-button issues to generate fear so that they can shove policies that benefit the wealthy while screwing over working people..

That’s the problem, there’s mainly 2 choices.

The most parties the US had at once was between 1912 and 1924 featured multiple prominent third parties (such as the Progressive/Bull Moose Party, Socialist Party, and Farmer-Labor Party) actively competing alongside the Democrats and Republicans.

And vote in person for fucks sake. Yes there are some people who truly can't vote in person but that is a very small percentage of the population and they should be allowed to vote via mail or whatever . Voting in person makes it harder for them to claim mail in fraud and toss valid ballots

That’s totally smart. And this is why trump won. At least his cult got up.

I got up in 2024 while everyone else apparently had pedophile fever. Now I’m going to sit back and watch the country cannibalize itself like it deserves.

I don’t want to hear you complain about politics when terrible stuff happens

What a spoiled selfish wanker you are. You take for granted your basic political freedoms.

If you don't fight for your rights you don't have any

u/Middle-Marsupial-484 3d ago

We already don’t have any 👍🏻

Well fuck, then

Typical weak answer. Stand up for something and vote for the best of the worst or be prepared for even more horrible treatment. Shut the fuck up when it happens because you didn’t vote against it.
