No, actually, both sides are bad. American bipartism is a trap that only benefit the Epstein Class, who are both rep and dem. Destroy the dems, replace them with a true Left. Go for Mamdanis and such.
I usually see it as calling out the political capture of the two-party system which has rendered the United States an oligarchy with increasingly dysfunctional democratic functions. Quite often it is a call out of the partisanship that reinforces the rigidity of the two party system and preventing any positive or lasting reform. At the very least those are the valid contexts I know of for bringing up any both-sideism of the two American political parties.
But yes, the Republicans do win when there is less voting.
Yeah.. I already voted last election but the below makes me concerned..
Note the article says this is being pitched but nothing surprises me anymore
Remember when we mended the problem of proprietary rigged voting machines (such as the Diebold machines) from the Bush Jr era?
... No?
Neither do I.
Because that never happened.
Much to mend yet.
At the very least, people not voting definitely benefits someone—apathy is never neutral.
Even if we DO vote, we still get Republicans. They just wear a different color and use a different letter.
The Washington regime isnt a democracy, it just have the aesthetics of democracy. Giving your vote to the regime is to legitimize their reign. Resist might, sow seed that relights atrention towards collective endavours. Nationalism and walldoms will lead us nowhere. Democratic confederations is the future.
