I did the thing. I made my voice heard in our democracy, others in my community did the same. But nothing fucking changed and the system of electoralism remains ever rotten to the core.

Lol but now I’m being told that “they’re scared of us because they say how frustrated we were.” Bull fucking shit. Why the hell do people equate mean words and insults with violence? This is the exact same song and dance that’s been happening for decades in American politics. “You must work within the system to get the change you want” or whatever other nonsense. “Be sure not to damage any potential relationships with liberals or scare off any potential voters!”

I guess the most absurd part about all of this is that liberalism has a track record of producing zero systemic change (or hell even challenges for that matter). So what am I fucking doing with my life at this point? What the hell can you even do without doing something that addresses the root cause of a serious problem?

    Libs don't know game theory, if you don't act on your threats - there is no incentive for les acteurs to change behavior shrug-outta-hecks

    Most cynical democrat after losing 2 times in a row to some green party 4% might think twice. Dems however are banking that republicans will be so horrible that you won't have convictions to follow through (see nader) it in a row.

    *But also multi party eu systems do bs as well
