    you are correct there, i escaped the labor trap not too long ago actually (that is what these animals at the top call it btw…because they know our Labor is weak and wages are capped, by the legislature they have paid off)

    most of the working class isnt stupid, they know they’re on the bottom mate…they’re not slaving away at shit jobs all day every day for themselves…they’re doing it for their kids. nothing has changed (materially) for the better for them for the last 20-30 years regardless of whose in power.

    everybody knows this game by now, that’s why so much of america just checks out entirely and focuses on taking care of them and theirs. for many, that’s all they can do, when your in survival mode you are physiologically incapable of thinking outside your immediate bubble.

    and while not all democrats are neolib cocksuckers, the majority are and as long as they’re the majority voting for democrats is the same as voting for republicans, because they have the same end-goal.

    the people so self-absorbed they don’t see the hand squeezing around them will only wake up when the grip tightens…that moment is going to happen very soon and it’s better for everyone that republicans are in power when it does.

      voting for democrats is the same as voting for republicans

      Again, these options are only the same to you because you are in a very privileged position.

      To people without your privelege, the difference is literally life and death.

        most people don’t vote, so clearly to them they don’t care. do you think these people don’t care about situations of life/death or perhaps they have a reason they don’t vote?

        what everyone should be asking is why these people don’t vote…for most of them, it’s not an access problem it’s a “the game is rigged and all these choices are obviously greedy ratfucks”-problem.

        do these people not voting harm themselves more than “swallowing their pride and voting for hillary/harris/whatever other neolib”?..maybe, but that’s their choice. you can either complain about the voter being wrong and change nothing or go to them find someone to address why they don’t vote.

        most people, when they know a game is rigged, choose to not play. only those already coming from a position of privilege think they can “change things from the inside”, all your really doing at that point is sentencing yourself to 20 years of boredom.
