LPT: Worried about martial law being declared in response to mass peaceful protest? Then you already have no rights guaranteed to you so you lose nothing by applying other means to stop injustice (self.lifeprotips)

This LPT doesn’t violate the community rule against illegal advice because in this purely hypothetical scenario the law means nothing

LPT: Vote Democrat next time instead of refusing cuz "I'm sick of voting for the lesser evil."

next time

TBF, I think we'll still have elections next time. Even Russia still technically has elections.

Note, I'm not making any arguments about how legitimate those elections are going to be...

legitimacy can be seen as a scale. In the last 19 years the US has never been the most legitimate democracy but i dont think it could have been considered "undemocratic" or autocratic since the end of the civil rights movement either.

Managed democracy

Protest voters did not meaningfully effect the results.

The demographics that voted for biden but not for harris were older white men/women and hispanic men. Probably because of those groups having internalized patriarchal views and machismo culture.

Democrats have failed you. They’re just the sugarcoated version of republicans.

LPT: demand to actually have a choice in your political system

They're just the sugar-coated version of republicans, aside from all the ways that they're better than the Republicans

But they happen to slightly align on one issue regarding a conflict on the other side of the world, so I guess they really are the same after all
