Oversimplified political apathy

Apathy benefits only the republicans

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago (3 children)

here's an example for you to drive home why sentiment like this is dumb and creates false equivalencies. when I was 14, I worked at a grocery store. there were two managers that I would get scheduled with. they both sucked and were awful human beings. however, one was a known child predator. which one do you think I'd rather get scheduled with?

To map your analogy to the US 2 party system the one who isn't a known child predator is also a child predator and works to keeps the other one in power. They both work for the same super predator.

The sentiment isn't dumb. It's true. The Democrats don't give a fuck about us plebs. I voted for Harris and absolutely will vote for/choose the lesser evil as long as I'm still able. Doing so does not mean the Dems give any fucks about me.

Remember when Bernie had real momentum behind him and the Dems sabotaged him because Hillary was determined to have her run at the presidency? If the Democratic party gave a fuck about the voting public they'd have gone whole hog behind Bernie.

It the Dems cared about normies, they'd be doing more than performative filibusters that accomplish nothing. If the Democratic party cared they'd be throwing up every fucking roadblock they could to actually try and stop that motherfucker Trump and his fucking cronies.

Are the Dems a better option than the Republicans? Yes. Do the Dems care about us? No. They're just the less shitty choice.

Neither is also an option. You don't need to put up with either manager.

I, John Brown, am now quite certain, that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with blood.

He did know that already in 1859

That's what happens when lobbies can just buy your politicians

Honestly, I read this thread and can't comprehend how a civilization as advanced as the United States of America thinks that defending a binary choice of democracy is a good thing to do... It's impossible to represent a country with a few million people like that, imagine ~300M. Anyway, keep going at each other's throats for your party color... smh.

It's not an advanced civilization, they have slavery enshrined in constitution.

The funniest thing about non Americans is that they think most of us don’t fucking know this. It’s so annoying

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

Read the comments in the thread. Americans dont know this lmao

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

If you read this thread you can clearly see that Americans, not known for their shrewdness or ability to read, don't actually fucking know this.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

This thread is very clearly proving that US liberals actually think they live in a democracy.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Americans think their favorite political sports team cares about them like the stripper actually loved them. No, you just gave them what they wanted and as soon as you're out of sight, they'll forget you and keep doing their job.

For strippers it's doing a workout for a living and being proud of their bodies. For politicians it's gaslighting the public into thinking they're the good guys as they socially murder at home and sweep up blood abroad.

But their tolerance for making you suffer differs significantly.
