Elon Musk is just the latest billionaire to exert tremendous influence over U.S. politics. When he says he supports Neo-Nazis, take him at his word.

Unfortunately people weren’t convinced to get the fuck out and vote so. Y’know

Neoliberals complaining about people not wanting to vote for neoliberals just always reminds me of "nice guys" upset women picked the bear.

You don't understand why they made that decision, and rather than try to understand why so that you could better yourself, you're gonna keep stomping your feet for years saying only an idiot would pick a bear.

Which is normally true.

Except the only option is you

So while being marched to the gulag you're the guy that turns to the guy next to you and proudly proclaims "don't blame me, I voted for the bear". How bold

This the danger of treating every election like the last for the past 3 elections.

Neoliberals have failed to learn this lesson twice, because immediately after they're wrong they say there's nothing anyone can do.

They want to depress interest in politics to prevent voters from organizing.

They want us to all check out and stop paying attention so in three years they can say:

There's no time and all that matters is the letter by someone's name! Everyone has no choice but a bear or a nice guy!

But it's not. In a fair primary we could get so the choice is "decent human or bear" and go into the next election 100% confident people won't pick a bear.

Telling people how bad a bear is compared to you is what nice guys do.

Well adjusted humans would ask themselves why women view them as more dangerous than the bear.

Why won't you?

Edit:

And because it needs explicitly mentioned constantly to neoliberals, yes I held my nose.

The people who didn't aren't politically engaged right now. They were chased off by the shitty choice and no we have to win them back in time for 2028.

You're not helping to do that, your comments would just make them realize nothing's changed and stay away from politics.

Are you doing it intentionally or do you just not understand the consequences of your own actions?
