So many layers of The Process and the only defense against political assassinations is voting.
We are so far past the point of voting our way out. We're the most propagandized people on earth. My god. And the US has been assassinating political rivals since it's founding. It's a country built on assassinating political rivals.
How many times has the US tried to assassinate Castro again?
Oh sorry, it's only bad if it's an American getting assassinated, my bad
we should get this card laminated for how often it's used.
I take this to mean they don't really believe what they're saying.
They probably think they believe it, but their behavior shows what they really believe: this is a normal election. I don't know what it will actually take for them to actually start believing what they're saying, but when they do they're not going to just ask people to vote harder 🙄
If you don't vote, the next president will assassinate you. Vote like your life depends on it!
Don't ask how we got there or critique the society that would even have that decided in an election.
I agree that they don't really believe what they're saying. The west is so insulated from civil war, coups, assassinations, political violence, extreme inflation, or other rapid changes in quality of life that the things they are talking about are completely abstract. Decades ought to be measured in centuries in the west because nothing really changes.
That’s the gigantic paradox with the West, simultaneously the most insulated from that sort of turmoil yet constantly afraid that they’re the most exposed to it.
Did you know that Marilyn Manson had two ribs removed so he could vote for himself?
True story
I spend more time waiting in line to self-checkout my groceries compared to how long it takes to read the green party voter guide and fill in my mail-in ballot. If you think an act as difficult as a boring chore is going to stop fascism, you should really take a minute and think before you speak.
I hate liberals I hate liberals I hate liberals I hate liberals
It's like asking a train to change direction not realizing it's on fucking tracks.
I'm voting harder than ever before, is it making the change we need yet?
America has already killed American citizens overseas in drone strikes. Obama killed Anwar Al-Awlaki and then Trump killed his kids.
The law that allowed for those killings was passed by Obama. I got a form letter in reply when I complained about it. I'd like to think that started my leftward turn.
Remind me which democrat politician condemned the murder of Qasem Soleimani?
