    I’ve voted against him every time he’s had a primary challenger for the last 26 years. Maybe we’ll finally get more people to show up in 2028. I’m sick of retirees picking my Senators.

        No vote is useless, though getting arrested before you can do anything to assist meaningful change is.

                It was a comment made jokingly, I don’t actually believe with any conviction that the user is an agent of our enemies.

                I just see what they advocate for as the same thing our enemies desire.

          I’m not saying you shouldn’t vote, you should, just like you should attend protests, but know that is does nothing to fix the issue. Only violence will solve this problem.

        did they say that they were skipping action, protesting and organizing?

        no. no they didn’t. they just talked about their voting habits.

          If you aren’t arming yourself, you aren’t doing enough. Soon will come the time for incredible violence, either prepare or wait for death.

            do you exclusively type in non sequiturs or is it just under this post you decided this was an effective tactic?

            i don’t even necessarily disagree with you but bro go make your own post about it
