  • I love this. It’s a perfect example. If we manage to continue having elections is on the ballet. It’s actually in question.

    The other side being crap is completely irrelevant at that point. It’s absurd that I of all people am telling you to vote for Joe Biden, who I don’t agree with about anything. I think Bernie was too to the right for me personally.

    Do there need to be fundamental changes? Absolutely, when you can’t vote for anyone at all it’s going to be much harder to affect the change you want.


  • yeah, cause Donald trump doesn’t support genocide too.

    There’s no discussion here. You get one or the other.

    No amount of not voting changes the result to the point where you aren’t getting Trump or Biden.

    With trump you lose the progress people have fought for. With Biden you get status quo bullshit. At least the status quo preserves the efforts of the past people can still build on in the future. It’s a non argument. Every one of your points is irrelevant for this election right now.

    So I guess we gotta realize you’re just a bot after all. This election matters. Every election matters. But progress isn’t only made during major presidential elections, there’s plenty of ways to keep moving the needle outside of this. I won’t be wasting further time with you. But hopefully people reading don’t fall into the same trap you have or are paid to present.


  • See, in America we have a two party system. It isn’t great but it’s what we have. As the oldest constitutional democracy, they made a ton of progress but didn’t quite understand parties and how the systems set up would play out. Under this system, you don’t get a great candidate to vote for. You get a middle of the road lukewarm candidate. And now we get that and a complete crazypants candidate. Choosing to not vote against the complete crazypants candidate because the lukewarm one isn’t your ideal candidate is such an obvious trap that a lot of people think only Russian bots can fall for it. I’m not quite that optimistic. I know people are susceptible to propaganda, and if you throw on a heaping pile of repeated disappointment it’s an excellent environment for it to work.

    So, it was a fairly coherent response. But not for people who are Russian bots, or in the throws of apathy from a huge disinformation campaign and just generally awful human existence. Honestly? I hope everything gets better for you too. Cause it doesn’t look like life is great for Russian bots or republicans or disillusioned people who don’t know where to turn. Best of luck my dude (or bot)
