I’ve seen a number of people trying to deny the truth, and it’s honestly sickening at this point. How bad do things have to get for people to acknowledge what I recognized on the night of November 5th? People really cannot handle reality as it is.

Say super geniuses who’ve figured out how not to blame their own mediocre self-centered inertia.
If Democracy has indeed failed in the US, it is because of soundbite-driven, intellectually lazy and dishonest about it, holier than thou, lazy, impatient and easily-angered nonvoters, as easily manipulable as the rabid, bigoted right wing.
Maybe people who chose to not vote are a bigger problem than I realize, but I think the real issue is the masses who are prevented from voting in the first place, and the gerrymandering and electoral college designed to suppress the votes that do get cast.
It’s a good thing literally every critic of yours sounds like that ridiculous strawman or else you might have to think critically about your worldview.
Voting is not democratic.
My preferred system is a combination of lottery-based representative governance, where the lottery is selected from a pool of potentials with enough support. Support is tallied via a liquid democracy. This system is relatively incorruptible and offers actual representation.
Is this a system you’ve ever heard of, or is it one used anywhere?
No?
Then I am not represented. I won’t smear my head in shit because everyone else is. Your “democratic government” was destroyed well over 50 years ago when the business plot succeeded. Your “voting” is submission to tyranny. When a mechanism is corrupt and your options are invalidated, the only option is to stop using it.
How well has your voting gone? What about when democrats had control of all branches of government?
How many drone strikes stopped?
Did single payer healthcare get passed?
Was tax law actually enforced on billionaires?
What happened when the “good guys” in your mind won?
What will it take for you to realize where you are? You were never in a democracy.
Nonvoters are casting a vote. It is a vote out of a shit system that doesn’t work. Pull your head out of your corporate captured ass. As soon as true rebellion is ablaze, those “nonvoters” will show you where their vote is.
But go ahead. Keep screaming into the void, just like your wasted vote. Blame the nonvoters. Hell, blame them MORE than those actively supporting fascism. That sure makes sense. Don’t even think of blaming lobbyists, rigged voting machines, gerrymandering, judicial capture, media capture, analytical brainwashing, first-past-the-pole voting, and absolutely tiny representative pools (easier to bribe)…
No, don’t blame that. Instead, put your energy into the people so disillusioned by the system they opt out. THAT’LL show them. Maybe it will get them to vote for your team? Yeah! Bully them until they vote!!
Non-voters never helped, but in this latest election, the responsibility really is on the party who had a strawman of an enemy to run against, yet couldn’t support popular positions due to corruption of special interests. They made so many tactical blunders it’s like they wanted to lose. Simple corruption cannot be understated as a cause for our current fascist era.
