We’re certainly doomed if we don’t

    participation rate is over 80%, that usually eliminates electoral college and tampering issues

    my country has mandatory voting, and that hasn’t solved any of those problems that are inherent to a capitalist oligarchy, not quite the voting system. i have explained this to westerners over and over, but as you said, they don’t listen very well or learn.

    do unionize, it should instead be step number 1 in getting anything done. i’m afraid you are way past that point though, given that the gestapo is already abducting and killing citizens from the streets.

      that hasn’t stopped…

      Unless I’m mistaken, it’s probably a better society to live in than the US.

      Even if that isn’t the case the voting attendance and participation is higher. Adding to that, it’s still the fix for the US problems…voting and voting in numbers.

        that’s a low bar to clear. my country is still awful and plagued by fascism.

          Mine has a few of them as well, enough for them to openly apply as a political party.

          The fact remains that the US position would be a lot better than it is they voted in numbers. The Republican voters loyalty to their team alone proves this. It might be the only redeeming quality they have but make no mistake on it…they have control because their people religiously vote.

            i don’t think usians will be able to vote fascism away at this point though. we are already at the “gestapo killing people off the streets” stage.
