    That’s kind of how ‘self rule’ works. You’re supposed to pay attention to politics.

    People not voting is how we got in this mess in the first place.

    Why do you think the GOP’s final defense is always “both sides do it?”

        TIL telling people to get involved in politics and to go out and vote is exactly the same as telling them to not criticize the government.

          People won’t do those things unless they realize that Democratic neoliberal orthodoxy is also the enemy.

          Criticizing Biden with the goal of awakening the people should be encouraged

            So, in a few words, tell me how you intend to reshape the entire political landscape of the United States and usurp both major Parties.

            I’ve had folks tell me since high school that the Revolution was just around the corner, and the masses would rise and rebuild.

            What’s so special about your plan?

                You’re hilarious. They got the New Deal by electing FDR. Without politicians in the White House and Congress, none of it would have happened.

                You speak against voting, and then mention an elected official [Sanders] and a government policy [the New Deal]

                    Actually I didn’t. Because, as I’ve now said for the 3rd time in this thread, I’ve voted for dems in every election I’ve ever been eligible to vote in.

                    I don’t who you sent those messages to, but it wasn’t me.

                    If you can’t keep your arguments straight, it’s time to stop playing keyboard warrior. Go out and touch the grass.
