    Voting wrong got us here. Of course it matters what got us here. It matters a lot.

    It’s interesting that when people remind you of that you want them to shut up and spur them out of the trenches

      A captured system is just that. There’s no right vote in it. You can argue the lesser of two evils but you are already on the downhill slide by the time that thought even occurs.

        Despite the shit ancient system, it’s still possible to get a good outcome. But it requires people voting for good candidates consistently. Saying people should shut up about that and just get violent instead is not the way

      Historically democrats have mostly kept a lot of bad stuff done by republicans. Voting only delayed the catastrophe waiting to happen
