You have to wonder how many accounts are people trying to drive disengagement with the process as well, then. Cause there’s a hell of a lot more “dont bother participating cause we’re all doomed” commenters than those sucking off the DNC.
Yeah! Voting is difficult so people have lots of excuses to not bother!
Apathy is the biggest factor in disenfranchisement, much as we’d all like to blame “the establishment” for lack of participation.
Sounds like you need to start a militia and go doom-prep in the woods, then. The political process just isn’t right for you.
So support people instead. Just because those parties are full of people doesn’t mean you have to go all in if you support a few of them.
The process is what we have, and we’re not going to make it better by refusing to participate in it. At best we’d make things worse and it collapses… and it gets a lot worse. Then maybe we can replace it with something better. If someone worse doesn’t get there first.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good-enough-for-now, especially if it means millions are going to suffer for the inaction.
But what if cardon’t?
And you don’t think that’s a problem? That you identify more with people who’d rather do nothing and let everything burn down around you out of spite than do literally anything to help?
It’s not even like they’re saying “This person is the greatest person who ever existed and should lead the world!” They’re just saying “This guy isn’t as bad as you make him out to be, maybe give the process a chance instead of giving up entirely”.
