      So instead of complaining and bringing attention to a subject we’re supposed to shut up and comply? How good of an authoritarian view you have there.

        Bringing attention to a problem is fine (even though I’d wager we’re all painfully aware of this one already). But blaming the victims is not. So there’s that.

            How so?

            We the people are the victims of a two party system that suppresses our will due to corporate interests. The dems are not innocent in this problem. They are the lesser of two evils, but they are still considered evil (e.g., Kyrsten Sinema, John Fetterman, Chuck Schumer, et all). Meaningful change by us normal people is intentionally difficult; not impossible, I admit, and people Like Mamdani are helping, but the bar is set very high and very expensive.

            “…[my] choosing…” is blaming me (and every American) for things I fundamentally have no control over. I do what I can locally, but AOC, Mamdani, and Bernie I am not.

            It also really sucks when a member of congress from some other state/district pushes and enacts some imposing change that affects people in other states/districts, and the people in the other states/districts can only write letters/make calls to their reps and if they’re lucky they may receive back some canned form letter written by a staffer. I’m projecting on that one, but I suspect my state and district aren’t unique in that problem.

            So yeah, I ask again, how so?

              I am not wasting my time reading all that. Joe Biden is a rapist who killed the MeToo movement, the democrats are enacting a genocide and people can vote third party. Pretending like you’re a “victim” when you vote for genociders is insane. And its fucked up to appropriate language used to describe what happens to women who come forward about sexual assault, to shield yourself from critique for voting for rapist genociders.

                  And you just told anyone who can read that you’re fine with rape and genocide as long as the blue team is doing it, fucking moron

                    I love the irony of your mentality:

                    Don’t vote for anybody because genocide/rape. And by not voting, the genociders and rapists win.

                    Tell ya what, since you seem to have all the a answers, I’d genuinely love to hear what you do to fix our problems? Aside of the above “not voting” advice.
