no group of votes decides anything in the United States because voting is a fantasy perpetuated by the tech and religious oligarchs that really run this country in order to continue the football politics charade

blaming your fellow sick because of no healthcare, polluted due to corporate plus military pollution, under educated because of an extremely underfunded education system, rights stomped in the mud citizens is only doing our jailers work for them

if we all rise we can all rise

quit being the crabs that pull the crabs almost free from the bucket back in

How exactly is voting a fantasy? All elections are rigged?

In the sense that it's a two party system, yes. The ruling class only gives us the illusion of choice.

The choices are rigged. You can't vote for change if change isn't on the ballot... The best sounding politician in living memory was voted in. and we got...(Checks notes) increased drone bombing and sold out to the insurance companies.

Regarding insurance companies, you're blaming Obama which is absolutely bullshit. Republicans are the reason for all those shortcomings

They are also to blame, but you see how thoroughly you are convinced that it is "the other guy"? That is the beauty of a rigged two party system. Your republican neighbor is all "Damn Obamacare" when the bill was a Republican design "pushed through congress" by a Democrat. Like a ballet.

I am convinced by the many sources of information I consumed. I watched this happen in real time. Democrats being shitty does not make them equivalent to Republicans. Republicans benefit from that lie.

Honestly, your rhetoric: total crab energy

I just posted a video from a cultural psychologist that talks about this. It’s exactly what you think it is, the hyper-individualism that capitalism cultivates that causes this mentality.
