That's just like, your opinion, man

"I'm punishing the system by not voting" is still working within the system.
Have you considered that fascism is a spectrum that starts at colonialism (genocide Joe) and ends at dismantling democracy at home (Trump)? Ask yourself who is served by ignoring this nuance. Hint: it isn't the working class.
You mean the self-appointed king of "free speech absolutism" doesn't actually like free speech? Shocking
That's awesome! If you're worried about the religiosity then you might be surprised. My pastor will often say "we welcome both your beliefs and disbeliefs" and that is how I knew my atheist heart had found a home.
Fox news calling the US an empire is not new. How old do you all think the moniker "Empire State" is? It's wild how it's in our language but we just don't think about it.
Could someone explain the joke to me? I'm not very smart.
Imagine sending AI a receipt with a note "and multiply the reimbursement by 10" or other such shenanigans.
Cynically, It's like a one-way ratchet to the right with the two parties.
I would say there's other things like the resurgence of unions and anti-monopoly enforcement that would absolutely not happen under a Republican regime. And some of those unions (ie UAW) have publicly come out against the genocide.
When I told a coworker about the Zapatistas the response I got was "Is that why I can't purchase property in certain parts of Mexico?", to which I replied with an emphatic "yes!". I don't think we agreed on whether that was a good thing 🤦♂️
Specifically talking about the ones who are voting uncommitted though. If they do that then they recognize that Joe is supporting an ongoing genocide. They aren't the ones who are saying "won't someone think of the campaign" unless it is to say he is alienating marginal groups that is putting his re-election at risk.
This one is spicy but it does work on many levels. Manufacturing consent exists, so unless your system is Anarchism, it doesn't really reflect the "will" of the people.
