    But they are. Think what the message is implying here. Don’t do the things that are actually important to actually pull votes to your side. There’s no point since it’s all rigged. This post is propaganda.

    This post is like some political consultant group found things that could sway an election and turn tides and then inverted it to imply those things are just silly

      This post is propaganda.

      So is this reply. Also being propaganda is funny in this case since nothing here says anything about not voting, just that currently the two party system has broken down and no longer feels like democracy (due to how it is not). In this case who would the propaganda be for? The democrats? Not likely, they are not helped here. The republicans? Don’t think they care, many don’t plan on having fair elections again. Big molotov?

        This helps Republicans. You’re not going to see that. But that’s why the left is in the situation they are in. You’re all still in the stone age that you’re not relevant anymore. It’s not that the Democrats are shit. The entire left are so far behind that they won’t catch up anytime soon

          Not a democrat, not even an american.

          The us is no longer a democracy, and is fast becoming the next global pariah state.

            It’s still a democracy. There is still a lot of order and authority keeping things running. It’s just a shit show right now. But places like Lemmy and other social media radicalizing people are trying to undo it

              That’s not what a democracy is. North Korea has a lot of order and authority keeping things running as well for example.

                  Kinda, but to be a democracy requires just a touch more. This might shock you, but declaring something does not make it true. You can’t just yell “Freedom”, “We are #1” and “This nation is a democracy”.
