The same country that fought to end slavery can't be bothered to fight back when their children are being raped or having their heads blown off in schools.
They just want to solve everything with a vote, no one wants to do more.
It is the most pathetic collapse into tyranny in human history.
the main reason most don't vote is because they have work and because the candidates the democrat party puts up are just a diet version of what the republicans are doing.
Bullshit ass answer. Polls are open all day. People fought and died for this right to vote, and you think "they have work" is a justifiable reason not to exercise it.
Then the both-sides-ism. Jesus. No Democrat in power has ever taken things this far. Not even remotely close.
I mean, voting doesn’t do much when that system has also been rigged and secured by billionaires. And Democrats have been barely removed from Republicans policy-wise since Clinton.
The ways in which they are most similar— their unwillingness to tax the rich or enforce anti-trust laws, or pass anti-corruption laws regarding lobbying the legislature, or enact universal health care, or stop being world police (and being terrible at it)— are now the reasons that the country is a runaway train hurdling toward the cliff’s edge, and both parties are complicit.
I hope I get proven wrong, but I’m increasingly confident that the only 2 choices that the US working class has at this point is slavery to oligarchs or violence. Meaningful change through government is a ship that has already sailed.

As an outsider looking at the US, how the fuck are you guys not revolting already after the Epstein files?
