The solution is to recognize that this electoral system is a complete failure and acknowledge that it must be completely done away with in favor of something that works
"I fully acknowledge that what I'm doing doesn't actually affect anything, but I'm still going to shame you for not also doing it." This is either cognitive dissonance or lying, which is it? Personally I think you're just lying about acknowledging that the system is broken, because if you did acknowledge that you wouldn't be so smug about endorsing that system.
I just got told something that people that are also voting are also doing, and they’re pretending like they are doing something revolutionary by doing those things while refusing to vote lol.
You guys are acting like leaving tools on the table is somehow going to get the job done faster.
No you're right, it is actually sort of a toss-up when it comes to which guy would bring about US decline faster - weird rude twitter guy who gives 0 fucks about foreign policy, or shambling brain-melted corpse whose team is so committed to the status quo they'll go down with the ship?
In 2016 Trump was obviously the accelerationist candidate.
In 2020, in the middle of covid, I would argue Trump was still the accelerationist candidate.
But in 2024, with two American vassals in the middle of separate wars, bricks continuing to expand and solidify, The failure of Russian sanctions, The failure of microprocessor sanctions on China, The US Navy's defeat in the Red Sea, a covid policy that essentially comes down to "pretend it doesn't exist" and The Democrats embrace of Republican border policy; I have a hard time seeing Biden as anything except the accelerationist choice anymore.
No spin. I want you and everyone you care about suffering. You are no comrade, countryman, or even so much as ally-of-circumstance of mine. You are an existential enemy.
Note: I didn't say dead. I said suffering; because I mean suffering. I curse you to have to live with the consequences of your abject ignorance, to watch your way of life crumble between your fingers like sand, and to be powerless to stop it. Death to Amerika, you insufferable cracker.
What tool? The tool is a gun that points its barrel back at the wielder. Hell, you epitomize that tool-- useless save only as an art piece dedicated to the abject rot of the West.
I'm going to do nothing, which is the same thing you're doing, except i'm not jerking myself into a frenzied orgasm over how good it is i VOTED for the LESSER EVIL
If there weren't so many blue maga morons like you who literally will support the DNC no matter what the democrats might have to actually, idk, change what they're doing, but you're too much of a fucking brainlet child to understand that your vote legitimizes their politics and actions
I literally don't understand how you can go through more than a single cycle of "vote for the lesser evil or things will get worse" where things get worse anyway without picking up some kind of fucking clue about this
Well the important thing is you managed to find a way to convince yourself that your laziness and apathy actually makes you better than people who are putting effort in.
Oh my god yes voting for the shambling corpse of a neoliberal lich who has presided over America getting worse every moment of his presidency is really PUTTING EFFORT IN 🙄🙄🙄
Good job liberal thank you for electing Hindenburg you've saved Germany!!
you managed to find a way to convince yourself
Literally the most ironic statement ever made lmfao like christ, please develop the ability to self reflect at some point in your life
So to truly understand that this electoral system is a complete failure is to do nothing? Or is there an alternative I can do that you haven't mentioned yet? I have seen a lot of people argue against voting like this "because it's worthless" or "because it supports genocide" while I have yet to see anyone propose something to do that is more actionable or directly effective than voting.
Just gonna say it’s really hard not to draw comparisons between the rhetoric I see across Hexbear and the rhetoric I saw on r/the_donald back in 2016. I’m not saying that as a judgment on the quality of ideas because there’s definitely a lot more communal-focused thought on Hexbear, but fucking hell for being a community that’s notably communist you all give zero shits about being a community that’s inviting to other people
It is better than voting because you will help create the world in which we no longer have to choose between red or blue genocide, and more importantly no longer need to hash these dumb online arguments every 2 years

Jfc how incredibly brainless, keep smashing your dick in the dick smashing machine while hoping that maybe it'll stop smashing dicks someday

the american has fallen in love with the system that oppresses them
You acknowledge that your vote is performative and yet still chose to vote for genocide?

damn right, the only way to stop Hitler is to vote for Hindenburg, the lesser evil

What a meaningless reply lol
If you tell someone that what they’re doing is pointless, you ought to be prepared to suggest a better course of action.
What a meaningless reply lol
I like how you act as if no action can be valid other than
, I mean you got told here and just acted like a fool whilst acting smug.

Utterly fucking delusional lol
Have fun endorsing a genocide, you intolerably smug electoral fetishist
Have fun with your delusional accelerationist fantasies, раб
Wait surely Biden is the accelerationist candidate though, given that he's a muttering corpse of a man???
Edit: never been called "раб" before, fresh!
Well thanks for letting the class know that you have no idea what accelerationist means lol.
Looking forward to your next snarky reply after you furiously Google the definition and try and find some way to spin out yet another edgy remark.

Calling anyone "раб" while having US system dependency hardwired into the brain gotta be the least self aware thing i seen in a long time.
The best way to push the dems left is letting them lose, otherwise they will continue to sprint to the right.

Truly, you have this all figured out.
Well-spent political effort is when you wait in line to write "continue genocide" on a sacred piece of paper.;
Hnnnngggg i've hnnnnmmmm put in so much hnfffff EFFORT

This is unfair.
The country also got worse for the 8 years he was vice president. You're erasing a large part of his legacy.

Sure, but if you truly understood it you would realize that voting for Biden is exactly as useful as sitting right where you are.
So to truly understand that this electoral system is a complete failure is to do nothing? Or is there an alternative I can do that you haven't mentioned yet? I have seen a lot of people argue against voting like this "because it's worthless" or "because it supports genocide" while I have yet to see anyone propose something to do that is more actionable or directly effective than voting.
Better than voting would be to join a communist party and work towards dual power, especially in your workplaces/unions
I don’t see how that’s “better than voting.” Why are the two things worth comparing? Why can’t I do both? What makes voting inherently bad?
Voting for a genocide means that you are perfectly fine with getting your turn in the ovens later on.
I can see you’re very capable of complex and nuanced thought -_-

How many dead kids will it take for you to vote 3rd party?
Wait am I supposed to vote or supposed to not vote? I was under the impression that not voting is how we save the lives of kids
Can't answer a simple question? How many kids?
You believe in nothing and will get the reward a traitor deserves: a mouthful of ashes in your time of greatest need.

I don't give a fuck about what a genocide denier has to say, fuck off liberal.
Correct, that’s what I just said

You could do both. The thing to recognize is that voting is nothing. Nothing is accomplished by voting.
