How's enabling genocide working out for you? The world is collapsing.
This hideous reality was here before I was born. God knows what will happen to it in my lifetime, but if it goes away, it will be because of the solidarity of the people, not because of cowards continuing to rubber-stamp every crime against humanity the system wants to commit.
Me? Own WHAT? A lifetime of never supporting mass murderers? I'm not the cog in the genocidal system, fuckwad. Own the fucking mass murdering politicians you keep voting for out of your own self-instilled sense of helplessness. A world of people like me actually WORKS. A world of people like you dies in a rapidly approaching nuclear holocaust. And the most insufferable part of all is you actually presuming to speak down on US. That's a firm "fuck you", to you, from me.
First, our entire system is made up. The fact that we've spent centuries entrenching traditions and imaginary institutions around it has no bearing on the fact we could collectively throw it out tomorrow. Second, there were options besides D and R in the election, regardless of whether or not the population collectively chopped its own dick off and decided not to vote for any of them out of paralyzing fear of the other party winning.
Your arrogant framing that he's "ignoring" some "realistic" choice - Dem vs. Repub - is simply an idiotic restatement of the circular reasoning that, "we will only vote for the duopoly, because we will only vote for the duopoly, because we will only vote for the duopoly, [...]". This self-defeating thinking, when adopted by the general public, completely neuters the public's democratic recourse against a tyrannical system. We are not ignoring anything. We have heard this reasoning you're using, and have understood and described the problems with it, over and over again. You are ignoring the real problem - an oppressive political system that's methodically stripped any power from the people, using useful idiots like you to attack any attempt at democratic expression.
There is no legal enshrinement of the two party system. Nowhere is it written in law that only Democrats and Republicans can win elections. Ballot access, which isn't even required to win an election, is granted by petition and filing paperwork. The only thing stopping a "third party" from winning is the public's self-inflicted unwillingness to vote for them, stemming solely from partisan fear and ignorance. And, consequentially, after the support has been whittled down sufficiently, the media refuses to even cover them, compounding the problem.
Trivializing genocide is psychotic. If the wholesale slaughter of an ethnicity is meaningless to you, you have no ethics, which means you have no selfless thinking when it comes to politics, which means your opinion is absolutely worthless. Political analysis requires caring about the fate of humanity. If you're only interested in your own benefit, or some benefit of a group you delusionally limit your empathy to, you are literally incapable of analyzing politics objectively. I mean this not to insult but literally to say, this is a complete disqualification of you ever talking about politics. You do not have the skills or motivation required to do it.
MAGAs have no reason. "Trump said so." Probably nuked because it became a nuisance for credit card companies and banks due to enforcing rules against overdraft fees and deceptive lending practices. On the flip side, it's yet another trade regulating agency with an overlapping mandate on a hundred different industries, meaning any company in those industries has to comply with every one of those agencies' interpretation of the law. Speaking from experience here, that is a headache even to people with good intentions.
