Should I vote Republican to slow down full blown let it all hang out fascism because I don't want to vote Democrat? I am trying to hack a machine that just needs recycled. What a dusty old thing. I have had it with both. The more both parties go at each other the greater the odds of a environment ripe with revolutionary potential. Like I know things are only going to get worse. Has anyone else thought of being a obstructionist? Like some how I am removed from the material conditions. Voting reminds me of the plaform at 3:10.

How does voting republican help anything? They are proud bigots, racists, rapists, pedophiles, and so much more. I understand being frustrated with the democrats for being bought and paid for, but getting in bed with republicans seems incredibly stupid.

    The USA is not a democracy is my opinion. Have you seen the platform?

    Ummmm...which platform? The republicans don't even really have a platform anymore.

    And if you don't think it is a democracy, why would you vote at all? Still seems like voting republican is the dumbest possible option of all the choices you could make.

    eh, both parties have the same platform? are we reading different news outlets? because since i have memory both parties want the same. at least from my pov in the third world, i've seen both rape, pillage, destroy, carpet bomb, kill civillians, commit the worst imaginable massacres done by humans. maybe you're talking about petty little shitty policies in home to keep the proletariat in check? i still don't see a big difference in their policies. reply to me when the us isn't trying to slave debt my country.

    The USA is not a democracy

    This question is not relevant: you're not voting based on how the country is now, or was last week. You're voting based on how the country should be, each time. You're picking the least-bad leader out of a small set of options, based on whether they're even marginally better.

    In this case, a LOT of alternatives are better than the current setup, so I don't understand the dilemma.

    ...thus, the suspicion about trolling.
