Ah it's voter disenfranchisement season here comes the "don't vote" machine

Is this more 'both sides the same' nonsense?

And why am I getting pickpocketed half a world away... I don't even watch the puppet show...

This, but it's raping children and bombing innocents

An elephant and a donkey fight in a puppet show and the crowd cheers for one or the other because one of them is going to decide how good your future is. And when people start to notice their life is getting harder for working people most of the time, they're told they can stop the decline by cheering louder for the puppet that's not currently in power.

The reality today is one of those puppets is going to be in control. Would you like the one that tries to clean the wounds and put on bandaids or the one that keeps playing with knives?

You can sit at the puppet show quietly, but whether or not you cheer, they're going to pick a winner. If you want to leave this circus you better hope the puppet that is open to the idea of changing how we pick a winner starts winning a lot.

And even if we don't go to the puppet show, we still get pickpocketed.

You don't want to cheer harder? What are you trying to do? Hurt small businesses?

yeah it's a divide a conquer scheme

The term divide and conquer in politics refers to an entity gaining and maintaining political power by using divisive measures.[1] This includes the exploitation of existing divisions within a political group by its political opponents, and also the deliberate creation or strengthening of such divisions.[2][3]

you know, the more divisive politics is, the more it benefits those in power. because you continue to support your team, meanwhile the other people support the other team. this ensures that all politicians are strongly supported by someone. all the politicians need to do is to pretend to fight each other, meanwhile they actually don't. they just have to pretend to fight each other sothat you continue to support them against the so-called "enemy".

Wow so deep…

/facepalm.

What gets me is how much a Democrat supporter will argue circular logic with you to the ends of the Earth. Not because your vote matters, but their narrative does. I live in a deep red state, not single vote of mine has mattered from local to national elections but boy do neo-liberals try to get me to believe the blue lie.

Too smart for the people who need to understand it I fear.
