    Maybe

    Maybe?

    It is fucked.

    We have no say in who either of the two general candidates are, and they take billions from the same people/industries.

    That’s not an exaggeration, 2020 Biden spent a billion, and 2024 they’re predicting two billion.

    We have an illusion of choice and the same people win no matter which party wins the oval office.

    I don’t know how to fix it, i just know that getting Trump elected won’t.

    Neither will voting Biden, it doesn’t solve the problem, just kicks the can down the road and 4 years from now it’ll be the same thing. Either with trump again or someone even worse.

        than slip and fall and fucking die.

        You forgot “risk” and leaving out that in this analogy “kicking the can” is surviving a little.longer by extending suffering.

        But it’s depressing how many people want to spend time convincing people to vote for an unrepent genocide supporter than trying to get the US president and upcoming candidate to stop supporting a genocide…

        This is like when people claimed to support civil rights and MLK. But spent all their time complaining about protests and saying if we all just shut up and accepted it life would be easier for you.

        I’m glad Biden won’t fundamentally change your life, and that your life is currently good enough for that to be acceptable.

        But you’re in the minority these days.

        So keep yelling at people who will suffer under either party to vote for someone that hates them and will actively work against them…

        If you want to prevent republicans from holding higher office tho, I suggest you join the adults and demand the DNC be better than just “not a Republican”.

        You get to prevent trump and help the needy!
