    The reality is both parties hate everybody but the corporate managerial class and want to kill everyone for infinite growth. The idea that voting is somehow an endorsement is idiocy.

    You pick the party least enthusiastic about killing you or you’re a moron. Bernie sanders is an anomoly. The democrats never once treated trump as an existential thing - they see the next election as an opportunity to finally capture the right as voters which is their only plan.

    If the realization that democrats want us all dead upsets you, you don’t understand how this oligarchy works. They still fear being out of power because it means disfavor of the oligarchs, but they would never attempt winning an election by disregarding the oligarchs.

    So the choice isn’t which one you endorse (as only a crazy person would endorse this system) its which one is gonna fuck you up the least.

      Ooh, I like this one! Using cynicism to mask a, “lesser of two evils,” argument, while still ignoring how emotionally devastating it would be to vote for someone who is materially supporting the slaughter of your people? This one could be the 2028 platform!
