The 🇱🇷 2020 🇱🇷 American 🇱🇷 Presidential 🇱🇷 Elections 🇱🇷 are the single most important political event since The Last Fascist was VOTED 🔫 OUT 🔫. We on the admin team see it as our duty to enforce the views of our audience by any parasocial means necessary.
As a nacho-socialist cabal, we see no path to revolution other than by focusing the majority of our leisure time on consuming bougie media. Media that is obsessed with the details of an election we decided our preferences on months ago, if not years ago. Here's the bottom line: Voting makes you a good person and not voting makes you a bad one. Don't believe us? Just ask Lenin:
A democratic republic is the best possible political shell for capitalism, and, therefore, once capital has gained possession of this very best shell (through the Palchinskys, Chernovs, Tseretelis and Co.), it establishes its power so securely, so firmly, that no change of persons, institutions or parties in the bourgeois-democratic republic can shake it.
We must also note that Engels is most explicit in calling universal suffrage as well an instrument of bourgeois rule. Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you. Universal suffrage, he says, obviously taking account of the long experience of German Social-Democracy, is "the gauge of the maturity of the working class. It cannot and never will be anything more in the present-day state."
See? We can't let capital take control of this "very best shell"! Turtles belong to the people! And the way we do that is by voting for posts.

At this point im thinking Biden wins but GOP keeps the senate, which is a truly nigntmarish scenario. Absolutely nothing will get done and libs have an easy excuse. Dems will learn nothing and Harris will get routed in 2024 by the MyPillow guy.
LMAO. This guy thinks the dems were actually going to do anything even if they had the power.
They definitely wouldn't have done anythi g good, but now they won't even accidently do anything good
Not the worst case though, which is they win president, senate, and house, but do absolutely nothing and the chance we swing back to full blown fascism skyrockets.
This will leave at least a little room for a spike in leftist populism where nothing gets done and both parties continue to shrug and point at each other.
My silver lining is that we can say that we were right all along: Biden was a deeply unpopular candidate, who ran on no substance whatsover. Left-wing policy proposals like $15 minimum wage in FL outperformed him significantly.
probably this won't mean anything materially, but it's a thought anyways....
