  • hmm, it seems to me that I didn’t write long paragraphs. I just said that I see “voting for lesser of two evils is consenting for evil”. And USA ran a 2 years long genocide in Gaza recently, they’re actually running a war close to my country periodically. It makes sense that I don’t distinguish much between the politicians who make decisions, and the population that is voting them in repeatedly.




  • In my view your idea is consent to the two party system, which is not explicitly forced by the constitution, but is being enforced more and more over time by your own behavior. One needs to have limits at least on what they consent to, even when their choice is neglect afterwards. The fact that not even both parties offered a pro zionist candidate, but even inside the democrat party, both candidates (Biden then Harris) were explicitly pro Zionist, this shows where loyalty to an institution no matter what leads to.
    Christianity is often ridiculed for for being fanatic, but even though it is a religion, it had reforms (Martin Luther and the protestant denomination eventually) when the main Catholic church was corrupt (I’m sorry for the Christians reading this if I’m getting history wrong). My point is: this was a religion and accepted reforms, here we’re merely talking about a political party, a progressive one if I’m not wrong.





  • If you meant that you wanted people in US to vote for someone like Bernie Sanders then I’m not you’re opponent. I only discard the idea of “vote Biden to prevent Trump” which evolved to “vote Kamala Harris to prevent Trump” even when both are clearly not standing for you really, but “just do it cuz they’re the candidates of the party”.
    I’m pretty sure the meme is blaming those who didn’t vote blue in the last American elections, “resulting in Trump winning”.

    I’m not discarding the idea of practicing the democratic procedure in your country all together or participating in votes, but rather only the idea of “vote for the lesser of two evils”, as it has only proved to sink the boat so far. I’m arguing against extreme loyalty for the party, for life.


  • umm, that’s 40 years ago you’re talking about, and it was Harry Truman who came after, so I say it was sinking gradually since then. In any case voting for warmongers is kind of an approval to them, people have every right to distinguish themselves from warmongers.

    I don’t really care about labor rights that much in this discussion, but I strongly doubt that you can achieve any by “voting blue, no matter who”, you’re not really voting here imo, you’re just showing the lobbyists that you’re accepting anything blue they offer. The example of FDR only shows that your party has been infiltrated and needs a purge of some kind, instead of unconditional support.
