Anyone who cares about who actually "won" the election is the real dupe. They're both playing for the same team. And the real traitors are all of us who participate in the circus that legitimizes the process. If we all didn't vote, and instead called for a general strike on election day, then there would be no way we'd be having this silly conversation. The reason we are is because people do vote for this person or that person. You participate and therefore you legitimize. If all of us were protesting on election day instead of voting and Biden got 20 votes and Trump got 10 then the whole process would be illegitimate. See what I'm saying here? But because we are mostly compelled to vote for one or the other, and not given a chance to abstain or vote against the legitimacy of the process itself, the only other option is to not vote at all. Voting legitimizes the process, period.

Bingo! The first time I started figuring this out was in the Bush 2.0 election, and didn't participate in it, or any election since then. All I hear is people telling me I have a patriotic "duty" to vote. I tell them, No, I have a patriotic duty to not vote, to not play their game. bUt YoUr VoTe mAtTeRs, they tell me. I let them know that, in fact, it does not matter, and neither does theirs and that these parties are two sides of the same coin and the powers that be will install the person they want, regardless of what voters want. If that is not apparent in this election, then it never will be. I too, have said the only way to end this is to, as you mentioned, hold a national strike on voting, but we are incapable as a country to come together for any worthwhile cause, because too many people are sheep and believe whatever big tech, the media, and government tells them to believe.

And six million people probably feel the same way.
