        See you in 2028 when the Dem or Rep wins again.

        appeal to futility, false dichotomy 🤓

          Funny. I was told that was a false dichotomy before the most recent election too.

          Somehow I just continue being proved right. This is my cross to bear.

                Cherry picking, I said it was an appeal to futility, as well as a false dichotomy. There’s plenty of other outcomes besides one of the two warmonger parties winning- like elections get cancelled due to Biden launching nukes on Jan 6 '25 to stop the steal. Just because one of the shitty parties is obviously going to win it’s still a worthwhile endeavor to oppose them, rather than just accepting whatever garbage they serve up.

                  Yeah and a giant meteor could crush me tonight in my sleep.

                  Anyway, see you tomorrow.

                    I can understand why you as one of the primary beneficiaries of a system of exploitation would be reluctant to upend it, but it seems it has removed any capacity to imagine a better outcome, let alone work towards it.

                    Those who don’t move don’t notice their chains.
