    Weird how voting always seems to work for the right wing

    Maybe voting would actually work if…you know…you actually voted

      Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically. Not once. Ever.

            I get it but do you actually think we won’t have elections in 2028 and that a democrat can’t win the presidency again?

            We just had midterm elections and democrats absolutely destroyed in almost all of them

            I know it’s mostly doom out there but this is absolutely not a full fascist takeover

        Not once ever? Not even when Trump lost the 2020 election despite the jan6 raid on the capitol?

      Americans: “Our FPTP two-party electoral college system doesn’t work. Clearly democracy doesn’t work.”

      Meanwhile in Canada we just voted for dental care. Europeans just voted to take on big tech corporations.

      I think the problem is years of “it’s not my job to educate you, sweetie”. Turns out it is our job to educate them. Because they vote.

      The right have gerrymandered and bet million bucks rigged the voting machines too. Always projection with them. Look at Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham voting districts. I read years ago that they have it rigged that they could never lose even if people voted.
