So what’s your solution? Do nothing and let the fascists take over? Start a revolution that will (at best) get put down quickly and nothing changes?
The only way to really show force is to do a general strike, but no one has the community support networks to outlast the capital class to get shit done. So for now, we either vote to keep shit from spiralling or we give in and accept the boot.
Win, lose, it doesn’t matter.
Spoken from a place of privilege, where the consequences of your choice don’t affect those around you. It matters to me who wins and loses, because one person winning means the rest of us lose and may not have a chance again. I have people I love who may not have rights in a year or two depending on how things play out.

Don’t fall for the misdirection. Sure, vote. But don’t belive it changes anything.

Take the occupy wall street approach, not the BLM approach.

Yes yes yes. A one day strike. A one hour strike. A Japanese bus driver refuse fares strike (if applicable).

My disillusion sees this as both easy to do and damaging because that’s all people do once every 4 years. Dur. I did my part, I voted.

You don’t need privilege to observe when your vote doesn’t matter.

It doesn’t matter who wins or loses because the corporatocracy wins if the wheel lands on red or blue.

Misdirection again, although this time with serious side effects. The bigger the difference between the parties in social policies, the smaller the difference in economic policies. Corporatocracy wins either way.
This is incredibly not the time to be worrying solely about the corporatocracy. We are very close to armed men kicking in doors and putting bags over people’s heads.
The corporatocracy has bred a monster in right-wing fascism, a monster which historically they have often failed to maintain control of. I wouldn’t trust them to be able to manage this one. If Trump wins, or seizes power, they’ll have the tiger by the tail.

But hey, I guess that part doesn’t matter to you.
Don’t feed the troll. knock knock is no different than the subject of this thread.
Thanks for the heads up. Between their reply and looking through their comments, I can see you’re right.

Ironically, the corporatocracy will stop that from happening, at least on a large scale.
Profits need to be maintained.

I don’t fear Trump. He’s too stupid to be a dangerous tiger. He measures himself in TV ratings.
I do fear the people who control Trump, and now have a blueprint for indefinite control.
I fear the mob who listens to Trump.
