Yeah, I noticed.

Perhaps you could elaborate on why?

Our officials mostly lost this election. And might not even have a chance to run again.

Demanding better can be phrased in a way as to not encourage people to abstain form voting them in.

Its doesn't really matter anymore.

Not just voting, but yes engagement with the electoral system in various ways. As well as volunteer work and organizing.

But I can say I'm done with that now.

I noticed my post got nuked. Interesting.

Edit: Also "siding" with the brown shirts? I merely aim to survive them. If not, oh well at least I'm done dealing with the bullshit of being alive I guess.

EDIT:

Edit: Did he delete his comment? I can’t see it. But dude went full lib-fascist. Told me he hopes the brown shirts come for me.

A mod deleted it.

I was being a smart ass because I assumed you and your type are trying to drag me into a violent conflict and I wont engage with that, not after this election result.

Besides realistically they'll come for both of us and then we'll be dead and not have to worry about this shit anymore. Its laughable that we'd be able to put up a fight: we would be turned into red mist.

I'm not saying that. I'm describing cause and effect.

You need to ask yourself what is more important, consequences or virtue? Because sometimes you don't get both.

Instead, we should sprint full speed into fascism. That'll show the fascists!

I agree.

We still should have prevented Trump from winning by more people voting Democrat.

I feel like your missing that many people do see the Democrats as the bad guys

No I'm not. I literally said that they would. And I hold that such a black and white surface level evaluation of the situation and to then choose not to vote is aggressively fucking stupid.

And TBH, I don't want to help stupid people if they're going to keep dragging me into the mud. I've worried about politics for most of my life and worked to make things better for other people but this election has freed me to focus on helping mostly just myself and a few close people that align with me. Most other people are hopeless. I'm done swimming up a waterfall.
