So? You're snarkily commenting on the actions of a US citizen.

You were asking me what I was about to do in the coming 4 years, probably concerning US politics.

The fact remains that there's work to be done by the people and it will either happen under Biden or Trump.

Again: You were adressing me.

One of those options is clearly more inhabitable than the other.

It's not about inhability. It's about a system that's in constant peril of sliding into fascism isn't worth defending.

You being from another country and sowing political discord isn't the gotcha you think it is.

I'm not trying to do that. This is an international meme community about politics (nowhere it's specified that it's exclusively about US politics). If I'm not allowed to show my political beliefs here: where can I show them?

Trust me: I'd rather no nothing about the politics of that failed state. But here we are with the world police noticing that it has - like all police - a fascism problem. ๐Ÿ™„

Yeah, shame on me for assuming you were commenting on something that mattered to you. Egg on my face for not recognizing that you're just cackling from the sidelines.

It's not about inhability. It's about a system that's in constant peril of sliding into fascism isn't worth defending.

Then you're either saying there's no way to fix that system (which is pointless and petulant). Or that there's work to do beyond voting to make those fixes (which, see my previous comment)

I'm not trying to do that.

Then frankly, it's not clear what you're actually trying to do. Whatever it is, its coming off as pointless and annoying at best and deliberately divisive at worst.

I beg to differ: POSIWID

The system is beyond saving and is working as intended. Build dual power outside of electoralism. Incidently: that's what I'm planning to do.

Fancy, semantic way of getting right back to my point which was "this system bad > change to different system".

Is that clearer for you?
