    They’re laughing at you. They do nothing for you and you vote for them anyway.

    That’s literally a metric politicians use among each other — how little can they do for their constituents and still get re-elected.

    They mock fellow politicians who do anything for their constituents to get reelected.

    I’m not joking.

      Yes so I guess the choice is to what, abstain? Vote third party in a FPTP system that will not work? “Start the revolution” that everyone seems to tout but I open the news every single day and see nothing like that done?

      Go ahead- tell me the answer. We’re all waiting.

        Playing the hits, I see.

        Next you’re going to blame Bernie for everything, call me a misogynist, and insist I love Donald.

        Is there a script you have to read from like a call center worker?

            Now they’re brigading with their alts. And it’s only ever the democratic party they criticize. Funny, that.

              If you have the capacity to end suffering and choose not to, you’re just as guilty. You’re an accomplice.

                  Nope, cause I am not American and I do not have the capacity to vote, but all my progressive friends DID vote for Kamala despite all of that, and she still lost because you refused to learn your lesson about having a message for non-voters.

                  You’ll deny your guilt all you want, but deep inside you know that your suffering under Trump was nobody’s fault but yours. And it’s not even comparable to one percent of what every single victim of american imperialism that your country has murdered.

                  America was exposed for what it is. Now suffer for it, pig.
