So you're saying the slavery preserving Electoral College is my fault?
When you protest vote? Yes. That is what people are saying.
Yes, it is if you don't do anything about it.
'hurdur I am voting for a party that never wins. I am sure love helping!' People have died for less and here you are bitching and crying like a little first world brat because your ego wont let you do what little you can to actually help. Hate the electorial college? The democrats are the only chance you have at switching to the popular vote. But you don't actually care.
If I could award this, I would. Well said!
No it's not. Sorry it's not the responsibility of the most vulnerable to take on power just so you can be comfortable in the middle class. Enjoy Trump all because you were too cowardly to take a stance on genocide.
So your answer is to let it happen in Ukraine too. Interesting.
Olympic level cognitive dissonance needed to get all these hoops aligned
Oh, you are one of the ones who think Trump will try and stop Putin. Gotcha.
I said nothing in support of Trump so get that ish away from me
You are not the one doing anything to stop him from taking power.
No, I'm pointing out 3rd party voters have olympic level cognitive dissonance
I'll explain like you're five.
I'm not a third party voter or a trump voter, or undecided. Go bark up someone else's tree ya drunk
Friendly fire is a real problem. Would be nice to have a flair system
In Soc 110, we were taught that's exactly why there is a middle class: to serve as a buffer between the wealthy and the poor. The middle class is shrinking.
There's a middle class because of settler colonialism and WWII. You get to have a house because a whole continent of land was stolen via genocide. So it's no surprise Western libs won't stand against the Gaza genocide since your own wealth is predicted on genocide as well.
Yes. Maybe that's why even though I voted for Clinton, I still was sympathetic to Antifa and Black Bloc. Cognitive dissonance was loud. And I fervently hope I don't backslide.
“stAncE oN gEnoCIde”
It is ABSOLUTELY the responsibility of the most vulnerable to take on power.
No, haha they're the least able and risk the most. Middle class white Americans are the wealthiest people on the planet, why don't they.
I am not voting for Trump. You are the ones who wont do anything to stop him. If you gave a shit about the vulnerable you would do something to make sure the 'they are eating the pets' guy does not get into power. And that is not throwing your vote away to a hopeless party.
