Dismissing it this way solves nothing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 days ago (1 child) Well we could always keep doing like the past dozen decades and endlessly have the population flopping back and forth between two parties and always pissed and screwed but never doing anything real about it other than "you have to vote guys.
