    I remember believing that. Then I saw the Democratic party cheat and gaslight the public into thinking theres any real democracy in their primary.

    It's Joever, dude. Democracy is dead

      Yeah I don’t really care about party politics so I’m not going to go further into what x or y party does, I’m just saying between engaging in a flawed system and replacing it with another system it will always be easier to engage in what already exists.

        That's an assumption you've made, and its not factual. It's a supposition of fact that you shpuld treat with appropriate skepticism

          It’s not an assumption it’s literally how basically everything in this universe works.

          It’s generally easier to fix something than completely redo it. Less materials, less energy expenditure, less time.

          I can use whatever analogy you want but the fact is it would be much easier to get more active in local politics and make a positive change that way than tear the whole system down and hope it doesn’t fall victim to the same power-hungry tyrants in another form.

            That's why in nature all organism live forever instead of creating an entirely new organism to propagate their genetic line. Why waste all the resources on reproduction when you can make the original organism live forever. It's that simple!

              I literally can’t tell if you’re serious or not because most hexbear users legit sound like this all the time.

              There’s a reason y’all need your own instance and it’s not because you’re the enlightened ones lol

                Your attempts at sounding smug just make me feel bad for you. You're like the verbal version of those robots that can barely walk getting hit with sticks over and over again and struggling to stand back up. Go back to reddit. You're clearly distressed by the fact that you've stepped outside your echo chamber.

                  lol the difference is I actually try and gain outside perspective while you stay here in your safe instance to troll anyone who dares have a different opinion.

                  Which I’m sure is exactly how the powers that be want us to view each other, rather than as peers.

                  If you actually gave as much of a shit as you and your fellow hexbear users seem to have upon first glance you would have noticed already.

                    99% of the time poorly socialized r*dditors like you make up the majority and people like us are the minority. It's pretty obvious that this is the first time you've ever been anything other than the majority and it's very distressing to you.

        it will always be easier to engage in what already exists.

        Yes, that’s why everyone in this thread is explaining to you why that’s bad.

          michael-laugh exactly! It is super easy to just vote. But it doesn't change anything. Doing easy things are not going to fix anything
