  I would however like to clarify that neither Republicans nor Democrats will solve the systemic issues in any meaningful way, and it’s not saying “both sides are the same” to point this out. I literally voted for Biden, but I still have Democrats accuse me of “voting for Trump” when I point out ways the Democrats do things like uphold a capitalist economy, extend the reach of fascist agencies like ICE, take power away from the working class, compromise with right-wing extremists, and observe a hierarchical system.

  I can agree that Republicans are far worse, and I can cast my vote, while still being honest about the situation.

  I read your “time after time after time” as “time after time” with the Cindy Lauper song. It really threw me off for a minute.

  And you know who doesn’t vote? The other type of simpleton who swallows that other cherry-picking lie, over and over and over again: bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe.

  Well, they are over here… and I do vote, just scratch out everyone.

    If you don’t vote for anything, you aren’t actually voting, just wasting time. No one cares that there’s a spoiled ballot. It has 0 impact.

      It has 0 impact in the US maybe. Here, my vote might get snatched by one party or the other… I wouldn’t like that to happen, thank you very much.

        I am also scared of the evil party vote snatchers.

    Not voting signals to politicians that they don’t need to care about your vote or you in general.

      Really? I thought it signalled that I don’t like either of tye choices 🤔… maybe get them thinking about the representatives they select to put on the voting lists.

        They only care about people who vote. Your silent protest is very easy to ignore.
