    We’ve been voting for lesser evil for 100 years because people don’t show up to vote.

    I urge to look at the many many times people turned up to vote for socialist (and sometimes even marxist) candidates in many many countries,and ended up betrayed with the same old capitalism anyway. It’s just absolutely naive this time it will be different.

      What? I just gave you proof of how it’s different. Look at NYC.

      Look at the menu meant times people made airplanes before the Wright Brothers and ended up betrayed by gravity and aerodynamics. It’s absolutely native to think nothing ever changes.

        People did different designs on the airplane! You keep doing the same thing and hoping it will work this time.

          You can keep saying it doesn’t work all you want, but NYC is starting to fly. Clean the doom out of your eyes and join us in the real world.

              What? That’s not how it works. I’m not 14. You want me to call you if I start jerking it to my dad’s old Playboys too? How about if I suddenly get awkward around girls again?

              The way political maturation works is you start off naively trusting in institutions. Then, around your teen years, you realize that the institutions are untrustworthy, and you become disillusioned. Then, when you grow up, you realize everything is made up anyway, and all that really matters is people and what they do together.

              Call me back when you grow up, and the empowerment hits. You’re useless to us with this doomer disillusionment nonsense.

                Didn’t call you immature. Just delusional. Never claimed that you will manage to get over those illusions for certain. But if you ever do, let us know.

                    Disillusionment is immature

                    Lol “If you don’t believe the status quo is the best system, you’re immature”. Terminal case of turbolib-brainrot.
