When will be your "this is the last fucking time I'm voting for the 'lesser of two evils', then I don't care after that, let this country burn to the ground"? For me, this is basically it. This is last election I'm going for that " lesser of two evils" bullshit. After that I'm done. It's just pointless. Let's hear it.

You're going to be worse than sick of it all when through action or inaction, you allow a proven authoritarian to take power. Then, you will no longer HAVE a choice and you think the government sucks now? You've got a rude awakening on the horizon.

Maybe we NEED shit to get majorly worse so people can actually take action and make the change they need themselves? I feel like people are getting complacent with the Democrats' bullshit argument of "hey, look at us, we are a teeny meeny bit better than the other guys. See? Aaaahhhh. Now stfu and vote for us and be thankful". I feel like this is their way of not doing much, and doing very little to look better than the other fuckers.

You're not making sense. You're "sick of it all" so you want to make things catastrophically worse. It's at best an ill-considered position, at worst one might think you are spreading a terrible idea on purpose.

I understand your position on what I'm saying. It's fucked up, I know. Nothing in our politics makes shit of a sense either.
