During the same recovery we were handing out millions like candy to the richest amongst us?
Why bail out airlines and giant conglomerates instead of the American people?
I agree we need ranked choice voting and better candidates. I didn't say people should not vote either. If that's your argument against me, point out where I said people shouldn't vote.
You don't get change unless you call out the issues. If every time someone says "hey this guy isn't the best guy we could have," or "hey, this isn't the best system we could have," the response of "well it's always been this way" does nothing but keep excusing the massive disparities and injustices that are continuing to grow at this point.
I'm sorry you guys can't imagine a better world where people have better choices for candidates at the very least, and at the most a world where the system we generally live by is structurally changed.
The bar gets lower every election cycle. If the best we can keep doing is "hey I'm not that guy", then everything is going to just get shittier because that's a pretty low bar to scale.
Nothing you said was inaccurate but I don't see how a meme saying 'both sides are the same' helps anyone.
Dude I'm not the one who brought up the both sides are the same meme.... .
