I do not "support" the Republican party by not voting. Tons of Americans do not vote, and will never vote. We do it for a myriad of reasons, and we aid nobody in doing so.

You aid them every time you take part in one of their scripted events. You give it legitimacy and accept it's authority, assuming that you have done good. It's moral grandstanding, and it's gross, socks.

I do not "support" the Republican party by not voting.

You did when Trump was elected in 2016.

You aid them every time you take part in one of their scripted events.

Democracy is not a scripted event. That's another right wing myth, in order to reduce voter numbers. If you are anti-democracy, you are supporting the Republicans, right wing, alt right, authoritarians, the 1%, all at the expense of the 99%.

The US is not a democracy.

I did not help Trumpet into office. Your logic is flawed and based off of false information. You helped get Trump into office by giving credence to a system that is corrupted from the top down.

Edit: u/socks The US is more of a pay-to-play oligarchy than anything else. People who have been involved in politics like me know this.

Yes - pay-to-play oligarchy

No - it is a democracy (the voting rights bill would have helped, but was filibustered by Repuglicans)

Do you not realize what pay to play means?

If you think you understand, then you should fucking wisen up. Money wins, not people. The Democrats and the republicans can bury any third party under their sponsors.

It's not so simple. And as with your previous comments, you are here to complain, not to mention reliable solutions. When you want to discuss reliable solutions, let me know.

I could say the same to you. Your "solutions" are to support the Democratic Party. It's asinine. You're arguments for why we should support the Dems are one-dimensional. They don't actually support the 99%, members of the 1% have their hands in the Democratic Party and the Republican Part and most third parties. You don't actually offer any solution except to vote in their scripted events. Just so you don't get me wrong, this election isn't the first one to have fraud in it. There is fraud every election, it is always reported, such as dead people voting and votes going wrong. Sometimes it gets dealt with, but it never gets fully investigated. No one goes to jail for this shit, the votes just get fixed, if they get fixed at all. This is provable, and my Government teacher talked about it, and I decided that you'd have to be equivalent to a human ostrich to vote for one of these yahoo parties.

I mean, seriously. Then you say I complain? It's complaining if no action is being taken. You don't know me, nor do you understand the situation the world is in right now. Things are changing, for everybody. You aren't going to like the camp you've chosen, neither are the Republicans. You both support pedophilic thieves.

And there are no solutions noted here, just complaints.

You can see in my comments that I mention solutions quite often - that people vote for Democrats, as they're the only ones who have a track record of working for the 99%. You know I've said this.
