do you have anything of substance to add?
plenty, but to be honest I doubt it would be of any use to either of us. You are absolutely wedded to the idea that the US systems, culture and frankly insane abnormalities are somehow a global axiom. Something embedded in our species. And when this concept is challenged, the rejective meltdown is frankly impressive, but of very little use outside of spectacle.
Sorry that happened I guess? Don't really know what it has to do with me or anything I said.
Just so you're aware your in a
.mlcommunity. Generally tankies aren't really about voting. Its doubtful they are even up for real change. Voting is still a front in the class war and they won't show for it, so I'm not sure they will show for a shooting fight. You won't find much pragmatism in these servers.Lmfao pragmatism is when you continue doing the thing that every generation leading to this point has done to either stalled or negative progress, and shit on your fellow classmen for not doing it as hard as you. Real winning strategy, you are definitely a qualified arbiter of who is "up for real change" and not. Abandon all substantive arguments, cast aside that stinky old historical materialism. internetcitizen2 is here to tell us what's what! Thank heavens!
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Now that you mentioned it, the countries the tankies somehow support are China and Russia. The former only has one party to vote for, while the latter only has one man to support. These two countries still have elections but within the acceptable frame, and therefore also project the same illusion of choice that tankies purport tp criticise in liberal democracies.
