    You don’t know anything about me or my method. You’re advocating for people to stop voting, which has changed things exactly 0 times in American history. If you were talking about changing the Democrats from the inside or about building a new party you would be on the right track, but instead you just are parroting “bOTh SiDEs ACtuaLly” and throwing around insults

      Realistically it would take so much time, energy, effort, resources, dealing with trolls, probably way more i can’t even think of. But it’s so easy to just angrily post online. 100%. And even if a few of us tries to organize, it would be gatekept and fall to infighting. It’s why there are no real libertarian candidates, they all gatekeep people “who arent REAL libertarians”.

      It would take an unbelievable amount of resources and sacrifice to even come close to competing with either major party. Not to mention the probable assassination attempts. It’s not that “both sides are the same”, one is clearly worse than the other. But neither are what’s best for the country moving forward.

      Which reminds me Andrew Yang tried creating the “Forward Party” but it never gained traction. And he spent more than all of the people in this comment section probably have combined to try it. Now I think he sells smartphones or something idk.

      People are stressed and depressed and yearn for something truly different. Which is understandable. There’s just no action that follows and that’s what makes it an “armchair revolution”. People still don’t want to die, deep down they hope some external thing will come to the rescue. Except there never will be.

      Point to exactly where I said dont vote, go through all my post and comment history if you need to.

      There are no bOTh SiDEs if there is only one side that sides with capital

        Centrists love to imagine that anyone who criticizes their worst actions must be encouraging others to not vote instead of trying to get centrists to stop being genocidal garbage all the time.
