we dont need to worry about the climate anymore. We'd be lucky to survive the next decade.

I get it. Complacency allows the top to slowly chip away from the bottom. Im not saying to stand and take it. Make your voice heard.

But what im saying you cant expect not participating to improve your situation. You have to make small wins where you can. Without the support of large social movements, change will be slow and tedious and it may seem nothing changes for the better your entire life. But if you give up and stop putting up any resistance, you can be sure the top will topple the tower and you will have nothing left and will have to rebuild. And the chances of rebuilding to something grander is much more unlikely because you already surrender your only advantage.

Tell me which revolution that ended in a democractic socialist society and one that didnt involve millions of people suffering for years?

Look at the nordic countries. They didnt have revolution to acheive their socialism. It was democraticly elected. Is it perfect? Of course not, but its more than most countries have achieved.

No. Giving up voting is giving up a better future. The system is rigged. But the president is by designed limited in power. Change happens in the congress and local politics. The president merely holds the peices togather.

But congratulations, the short sightedness just handed the keys to the kingdom to a single man. The only check and balance trump has is the infighting within the Republican party and his own incompetence.

You think revolution is a great time? and chances of it fixing anything is very low. All it causes is turmoil and a power vacuum.

So as long the alternative is worse. Yes. You think an hot iron is uncomfortable? Try being thrown in pot of boiling oil. Thats the alternative.

I dont understand that sentiment... i mean yes, i agree the parties should absolutely do more and listen to their voters... but the fact of the matter you have to play the game because the alternative is worst. You think noone listens to you now? What makes you think letting the opposition win will do for you? It will only make your life worse.

Do you think the governments in 1930's europe appeared out of thin air? No, they were elected until they held enoigh power to consume total power. Literally tens of millions of people suffered all over the world because people became complacent.

Dont ever give up hope vote for the lesser evil and push for more grass roots movements so the lesser evil will become the even lesser. If you dont, you may never have that freedom again.

Democrats cant even pass bills that Republicans want because trump told them not to give 'biden a win'... you expect them to be able pass bills that would severely limited our dear supreme cheeto?

The solution is mandate standards to be adhere too and any contractors must have no patents so any manufacturer can be used.

Even the keyboard design itself can effect typing results. Like typing on a really good mechanical keyboard is more comfortable than a shitty chiclet keyboard.

Dont quit your day job to persue a job in law.

It doesnt need to say it explicitly and its wording is all exclusive.

Or are you going to try and argue a shirt that litterally says "Vote for " isnt soliciting because "the law didnt say anything about shirts!"

And for the record i did not say you were electioneering. Merely pointing out clothing can fall into the category of electioneering...

Did you even look up the actual code?

(c) No person, when within the polling place, shall electioneer or solicit votes for any political party, political body or candidate, nor shall any written or printed matter be posted up within the said room, except as required by this act.

It makes no particular distinction how electioneering is done. Just none is allowed in any form.
