Red states banned local/state government funds from investing via BlackRock because it was considered too woke since they have a vested interest in the country lasting more than one quarter. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] alapakala [S] 1 point 2 months ago mutual funds the problem here? Interesting way to call the owners of the US. The problem is capitalism, and their booth won't end the robber baron’s might. 60 terms of slavery.

Your voice should be heard. If you choose, voluntarily, to exclude yourself from the democratic process, then of course it doesn't work for you. It can't. How can it work for you, if you do not participate? The people who want you to not vote are the same people who want to take away the right to vote entirely. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] alapakala [S] 0 points 2 months ago* My voice is heard everytime I feed the homeless. Not when the Epstein class makes another voting booth. The fact you still believe there even is democracy on an oligarchy shows :amerikkka: indoctrination is working perfectly. How can it work for you, if you do not participate? Because it never has, it never will. Ballots are how you genocided the indigenous. Ballots is how you enslaved. I grow tired of countering your disinformation that you ever had a democracy, when it only suits slavers. The people who want you to not vote are the same people who want to take away the right to vote entirely. If this was true, the people that create ballots wouldn't campaign to demand people to go to voting booths. Instead voting would take decades to get everyone to vote. Yet you still ignore the people that can't make it to your booths. Let us know when the incarcerated can vote, the indigenous, the enslaved, the children, and the migrants. If you don't see the hypocrisy of ableing a class of tailored individuals only the right to vote, you have no say on what democracy is. permalink fedilink source parent
