Your Democracy is a Sham and Here's Why
We're not going to waste energy on something proven to be a failed practice.
Your argument boils down to that of a gambling addict who doesn't know when to stop, despite increased harm the longer you perpetuate it.
You haven't even engaged with the material I provided, which answers your questions.
Here's an example of a successful country with actual fucking democracy, and this wasn't all made possible by masturbating the idea of electoralism back in WWII: Things You CAN Do in China (You CAN'T Do in America) Americans WON'T Believe It...
This is your second chance to engage in good faith. Better take it.
You've failed to prove any of what you've said here. You're a wrecker, and what you're advocating for is the most boring shit ever.
Nobody cares about electoralism anymore, and we're not going to engage in lesser-evilism. You don't fight class war and win by engaging in the ruling class' institutions and the rules they've arbitrarily made to defend their class dictatorship.
The US empire will die, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
If fascism is on the ballot, then your election is bullshit
Everything else is pure
Dems pull these same vote panic lines over and over every election. "Its Dems or the end of democracy" if that's the case then democracy is already over. Not that it ever existed for anyone outside the ruling class
