    Some of you may be thinking “but I’m vegan, so I can’t vore them”

    But just to put your mind at ease, politicians don’t count as sentient life forms

      From a U.S. perspective, if voting was useless then the GOP wouldn’t have to rely on gerrymandering and removing voters from rolls for arbitrary reasons to get its ghouls elected. Harm reduction via voting is possible! For everything else, there’s Mastercard protesting. But also maybe “Mastercard” in the form of bribes lobbying

        Exactly. Some leftists are ignorant about how voting, even in dysfunctional liberal democracies, is the enemy of the unpopular, and that policies that people recognize as favoring the rich are unpopular. It’s why they put so much effort into manipulating the media. When people are aware, the rich lose at the ballot box.
