  • You can repeat “smoke and mirrors” as many times as you want. Doesn’t change that the parties vote VERY differently. Doesn’t change that one party got me affordable healthcare when I was young when the other one basically told me to go fuck myself. Doesn’t change that one illegally attempted to overturn an election and the other didn’t. Doesn’t change that one stripped women of a federally protected human right while the other didn’t.

    There are so many examples of the parties not being the same that there’s no other way to look at your opinion than as ignorant to the extreme.







  • Don’t lie to yourself that we live in a democracy

    How ignorant are you? We vote for someone. They become our representative. That happens in reality. Is money corrupting it? No fucking duh. Big congrats on figuring that out.

    But still. We vote. It happens. We still have elections. Sometimes the underdog wins, which means it’s still legitimate. For now.

    What we’re experiencing is democracy working, but in a situation where propaganda is winning, which is possible in a democracy. It corrupts democracy.

    Our democracy picked Trump because our society is sick.
