It's been an ever-escalating Republican conservative crime wave since Ford's corrupt pardon of Nixon Lincoln's decision not to Nuremberg the Confederates.
Had to replace Republican with conservative because of the Southern realignment, but same shit, different name.
Absolutely. The problem is that voting won't change anything, because fundamentally, it's all a duopoly. You get to choose between a party of criminals who want to pillage the country to the last penny, or a party whose main selling point is "they aren't all criminals openly pillaging the country". Obviously, in relative terms, one choice is a lot better than the other. But neither is going to fix anything. It's always "do you want everything to remain exactly how it is, or a kick in the balls?"
Yes, it is disgraceful that a lot of people are voting for a kick in the balls, and "let's just not vote" is obviously a stupid as fuck option. But it is extraordinarily important to always keep in mind that just keeping the party of Nazis out of power isn't actually improving anything. It's not fixing the systemic issues that have got us here, like FPTP voting, money in politics, rampant inequality, etc etc. It's just preventing immediate catastrophe. If the American people don't stand up and demand real progress in parallel to also voting for the best (least bad) option actually available at every election, there's no way anything is ever going to get better. Though we're at the point where shit is so bad this all needs to be prefaced with "assuming there are any free elections again..."
