That is the saddest defense of a failed democracy I have ever heard

Imagine this scenario.

You have a representative democratic system that degrades itself completely decade after decade while the culprits stuff their pockets and make careers out no longer representing the people that voted for them.

After so many decades of automating and accommodating financial interests, to the point where lobbies and corporate interests basically write the laws the politicians sign, the system is now completely broken and is no longer, in any way shape or form something that represents the interests of the people.

It is not privilege, but necessity to abstain from voting for actors in that system, unless they want to change it.

And I haven't even covered how the system you are voting for are using war, death and terror to further, spread the domination of the same financial interests, and even destabilize and meddle in other democratic processes all over the world.

If there was a candidate that atleast pretended to want real change, I would absolutely encourage everyone to vote. But there isn't. Not even the slightest.

Not a working car that you can use no..

Trump is a straight up fascist. He will literally end what is left of the frail democratic system in the US.

I just don't see that as an argument for anything

If your representative democracy is not representing you. Then there already is no more democracy.

Not at all. He will be even worse. By a long shoot. I still don't see that as an argument for anything

It really is peak centrist liberal to be satisfied with the least horrible alternative.

Democracy is representative. If Noone represents you, why should you support them?

Are they on the ballot?

lol. Nothing but the billions of dollars and military equipment. Even private US defense contractors over there "mowing the lawn".

The ethnic cleansing taking place in Palestine would not be able to take place without the US approval.

He will loose the election over this. It's a horrible fact, and I really wish that dæthe democratic party would line up a better candidate, since Trump winning will be a total decline into the fascist abyss.

Why would anyone vote for genocide Joe

That it is not a random news site.

It's an organization that tracks human rights violations

Euro-Med Monitor has existed for 12 years.

Maybe the case is that you have not been to concerned about the humanitarian situation in the middle east ?

Suuure.. Just like those boats in the Tonkin bay leading to the Vietnam war

Some of those that work forces..

I have had the most success with Firefox, grease monkey and media downloader

But Thunderbird still doesn't support outlook calendar etc right?

Then maybe they shouldn't run with a genocide supporting senior citizen as a candidate

found the enlightened centrist

lol.. their time is up

Whaaat.

Noone could have possibly predicted that in a million years
