Vibes. Pure vibes

You see it when they wander in here all the time

They’re so sure of their beliefs that they think we’re conservatives half the time because we ardently hate them, unaware that people CAN be further left than liberal

I don’t know what any of that means, but Biden was front and center for the last fifty years, and he could have helped stem the rise of the thousand trillionaires billionaires.

Perfect, too shapeless to form into any malarkey

Please, President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho, my people, we yearn for freedom!

To be fair… we’ve been there quite a while.

Even the most lib-ass libbed up example I can remember from my own political experiences of people legitimately telling voting democrats (in the primary nonetheless- committed, ideological democrats) that voting for Barrack HUSSEIN Obama to be the candidate over Her Majesty HRC was essentially the same as voting for whoever would be the republican candidate (McCain). Because no one would vote for Muslim Black man!

Now obviously I’m not gonna sit here and type out why Obama sucked shit, but the point is even back in 2008 I remember very clearly talking with people, the most omegalibs you can imagine, who were livid, sucking down cigarettes in anger at the prospect of people voting for Obama over Hillary in the primary and their claimed reasoning being, like I said, basically allowing Bush term 3.

They’ve always run these games, it doesn’t work anymore, and they’re just flailing like crazy at this point. Now if the fucking DNC could just… implode already… that would be nice

I thought “turbolib” had it covered, but I’m going to throw “self replicating machine elf lib” into the mix.

Just one more election bro please just one more and then we’ll run an actual candidate bro please just one more

If the democrats believed this, and cared about democracy, then they wouldn’t keep a dying man as their nominee or they would be using his Supreme Court-affirmed absolute immunity to neutralize this existential threat. Let me know if they have a strategy other than gaslighting and blackmailing the people they claim to represent.

The choice is simple.

Biden wins and you can have genocide.

Trump wins and you can also have genocide.

Wow, this is incredibly inspiring. Please direct me to the polls right now!

edit: Also, the USA has never been a democracy. Project 2025, more like Project 1492, am I right?

also edit: if I were president, and the SCOTUS just declared that I am an emperor immune to all prosecution, I would simply imprison my political opponents (plus all landlords and business owners and police officers and soldiers, except those vouched for by workers), I would free everyone currently in prison, establish universal health care, education, and housing, forgive all debt, close all military bases, withdraw the US military from around the planet, return all indigenous land and sovereignty to indigenous people, expropriate all millionaires and billionaires and use their stolen money to pay the current value of forty acres and a mule plus interest to all descendants of slaves (and also pay reparations to every country harmed by the USA (so, every country outside the western bloc)), connect the country with a national bullet train network, dismantle all nuclear weapons, reintroduce covid precautions (deporting to europe anyone who even raises an eyebrow in response), nationalize all corporate and social media and use it to relentlessly bombard the populace with Marxist history and amerikkka bad communist propaganda 24/7, and, as my final act, pull down the American flag that’s on top of the White House and declare that the USA has been dissolved and no longer exists

If you believe this, act accordingly. Buy a gun and kill him. If you aren’t doing that, you’re either wanting to install fascism or you are a liar. Which is it, liberal?

I’m gonna go vote so fucking hard just like when Germany defeated fascism when they elected Hindenburg. Fuck yeah

that someone else will also be a genocider and your brilliant plan’s gonna be to vote for him cos it’s once again the most important election of our lives. incredible that you keep falling for this.

Many full-time Americans seem to view electoralism through the lens of civil religion, where “The Election” is a sacred ritual and a good unto itself, regardless of what tangible effects it may or may not have. These Americans fear for the day when their precious ritual is taken away, never minding that the vote is already denied either directly or indirectly to countless Americans.

I myself come from a family of US overseas citizens, and wouldn’t you know, in 2022 the voter turnout among US overseas citizens was apparently only some 3.4%, meaning that US citizens living in the fifty stars’ share of Occupied Turtle Island and Occupied Hawai’i were 18x more likely to vote than those living abroad. You cannot attribute that enormous gap in voter turnout to simple apathy on the part of overseas citizens, because trust me, US overseas citizens are by all means aware of the impact of American politics on the rest of the world, frankly considerably more aware than most US resident citizens, since we overseas citizens get to directly witness and even uncomfortably embody for ourselves the dynamic between the United States and other countries — and by all means we would want to use the rights that we have as US citizens to effect positive change, wouldn’t we? There’s about three million US overseas citizens who are eligible to vote in US elections, and that’s no small number, is it?

But that’s exactly why voter turnout is so small among US overseas citizens, I say. A huge share of that turnout gap can be attributed to the added challenges that tend to come with voting from abroad, and this is not to mention the ways in which these challenges may intersect with other barriers to voting that may be disproportionately represented among US overseas citizens. And as we say, “POSIWID” — “The purpose of a system is what it does”. So perhaps overseas voting is so tedious because it incentivizes US overseas citizens to “come back”, where voting is easier; perhaps overseas voting is made so tedious because US overseas citizens will carry more radical “foreign” perspectives and ideas, that are way too “dangerous” to be allowed representation in government; and perhaps the barriers to overseas voting are increased or decreased, rights granted or taken away, based on whatever happens to be the most convenient for whoever is in power to hold on to power; and perhaps all three of these are true at the same time.

So I think that my family experience, that consciousness about my place in the world as a US overseas citizen born abroad, snapped me out of Usonian election-worship pretty early on: I see that I get to experience taxation without effective representation, because I’m the one who gets to see the Seppo military bases actually built in my backyard and painting targets on my country’s back. I see that this awareness that I and surely many other US overseas citizens have, is a considerably bigger threat to power in old Seppoland than the white suburbs of that occupation zone, who get to have their own sexy sexy polling stations such that they can play pretend that Team Red and Team Blue are not simply two wings of the same bourgeois party.

I already had no vote in 2025 because it’s not an election year lmao gottem runs past the bleachers getting high fives

Then I don’t have a choice this year, do I? That’s 3 elections in a row in which I haven’t had a choice. Doesn’t sound very democratic to me

You’ve been saying that since 1972

Trump wins and you’ll have no vote in 2025.

This sounds like a good capitalist economic policy actually. No more elections means you don’t have to waste government money on it and no more manipulating people into donating money. I mean you’re getting genocide anyway, no need to spend money to get there

Or people won’t vote at all because what you say online doesn’t change reality.

it’s the most important election of our lifetime!

This is a joke, right?

Why is the guy who wants to end elections being allowed to run in an election in the first place?

Why can’t we vote for someone else now?
