    the past hundred plus years of electoral politics really beg for the concept to be taken seriously, imagine voting in the most important election of your lifetime every 2-4 years for your entire life only to watch things get progressively worse anyway even when the “good” guys win, because even their best and wildest pipe dream policies if enacted amounted to about jack and shit

    can’t wait for the hope and joy Harris/Walz administration to finally forgive student loan debt for a small subset of borrowers who open and run a business in a disadvantaged community for 3 years! can you imagine being one of the three dozen people that amazing legislation would help??

    oh, wait, I’m sorry, the parliamentarian is probably going to tell them ‘no you can’t do that’ again and we will just have to grin and bear it, for the sake of civility

      I take the concept seriously, but not you clowns.

      If you cared about leftism as much as you cared about proper communication maybe people would listen to what you have to say.

      But unfortunately you spam memes and reaction images instead of having a proper discussion and everybody tunes you out.

            If you want to vote for someone who supports genocide, you do you pal. Maybe someday you’ll realize that democracy in America is a sham and voting doesn’t matter. But that requires doing the bare minimum amount of your own research, which you seem to be vehemently opposed to.

            I recommend reading Noam Chomsky’s manufacturing consent. Once you understand how you’re manipulated by the government and media, then you may be ready for some communist theory.
