    Fielding bad candidates because you can’t be bothered to do the bare minimum has been a thing forever. As a friendly reminder, the thing that scared the DNC and RNC the most in my lifetime wasn’t Trump, 9/11, or anything like that. It was Ross Perot.

    They’d both burn everything rather than let anyone else play the game.

      The youths wait till the last minute until midnight to get involved then they see how horrible shit is and get all morally frustrated. If you give a shit and want to know how this works LOOK AT VOTING RECORDS. Don’t just focus in on your pet issue.

        Ah yes, the pet issue of yet another slaughter of innocent civilians bought and paid for by US tax dollars, this time in 4k

          America itself was founded on Genocide. Are you also pushing for the return of land to indigenous people? How about slavery and reparations? Oil seeking imperialism?

          Yes, pet issue fits.

          Edit:

          How about even just a slight push for better conditions for indigenous people?

          You don’t actually care about what we are up against and would rather see more people die in a violent revolution then even lift a finger. A revolution that ends in a Christo-fascist state because if you haven’t noticed one side is actually united in their own insanity.

          Or was I supposed to stop because you dismissed me and are riped in moral relativism.

            Oh no we can’t do the right thing now! We did the wrong thing 100 years ago and the rules of consistency mean we must keep doing the wrong thing no matter what!1111!!

              That was not the question. The question was, “is this a pet issue.” Start the protests, now, if its so important nothing else matters.
