    there's more than 2 parties you can vote for and the meme shows why the 2 dominant parties are no different where it matters.

    Which is still far more chance of changing things than you get by voting more power to the people actively opposed to changing anything that benefits their donors.

    ceding your choice, you enable the worse outcome

    The worse outcome is either Wall St fellating warmonger winning . The worse outcome is ShitLibs like you getting their wish to return to the pre-Trump status quo.

    you're an accelerationist above all else.

    Thanks for making it so obvious this early on the convo that you don't know what the words you're using mean. It'll save a lot of confusion later

    the assumption that you're ceding your choice or that your choice is going to make a difference is were reality gets disconnected.

    the fact of the matter is, we've been voting this way for most of a century now and it has already lead us to the same places that your understanding of accelerationism would lead us to anyways -- climate change that's guaranteed to fuck up human civilization; a panopticon powered by AI, financed by genociders, and will keep feeding off your body for the rest of your life like you're in the matrix; and a ruling epstein class that's so privileged it can literally publicly flaunt it's depraved desires to fuck/kill children with zero repercussions.

    the meme is pointing out the willful ignorance induced blindspot that liberal smugness makes impossible to address -- the same willful ignorance that makes this meme feel like it's doing nothing more chastising.

    and these conversations are necessary since history has already proven that we keep doing the same thing over and over again and we keep getting the same results -- yet americans chose to ignore history and have fooled themselves into believing that we can continue to keep doing the same thing anyways.

    One of us is having a conversation about memes in the memes community.

    and it's not you because you're incapable of understanding the point of the meme annd the rest of us who do understand it are trying to explain to to the rest of you who don't understand it.

    pointing out ignorance is not a personal attack and the meme broached the subject so it's fair game to talk about it -- the disconnect is that you're incapable of understanding it because you don't have the background understanding it requires.

    that doesn't mean you're stupid or dumb -- i used to be a liberal so i can understand that how i also wouldn't have been able to understand it if i hadn't put in the work at dispelling the indoctrination that all americans are born into.

    Accelerationism isn't "make things bad by burning them down," it's accelerating the accumulation of capital and therefore the collapse of capitalism by supporting the most competent imperialists, which in this case would mean supporting the DNC. The communist take is to oppose both the DNC and GOP, the accelerationist take is to support the DNC.

    you should not expect anything to change by voting and history proves that substantial & enduring changes can only comes from us.

    still you should vote, even if it's for your dog, but there are better uses for it. the epstein class assumes that you will vote for one of their approved parties, so cooperating in this system the way they want you to only serves to help validate it at best.

    voting on lemmy doesn't matter -- only the stomach you have for questioning your own indoctrination does.

    voting for your dog isn't realistic, but voting for psl or green or communist is realistic and many countries have been doing it for decades and things are much better for their people as result compared to americans.

    voting to change anything also isn't realistic, but mexico proved that it was still possible in 2017 and that's why they have president shienbaum while we're stuck with president trump.

    No, it just says you need to stay awake the other 729 days of the biannual cycle. You obviously don't want to do that, so you pretend it says something it doesn't.

    That would be because you don't want to.

    You want to vote for "the good guys" and go back to brunch.
