Republicans are corrupted spoiled fucks.

Democrats are corrupted spoiled fucks.

How do you think "massively increased involvement" will occur if we keep throwing our votes at these massively corrupt spoiled fucks?

Peaceful abstaining. Quiet sit in. America on strike.

That is the only possible way we have to cause the change we needed at least 50 years ago.

I mean involvement of the voters themselves. I push a lot of my friends to just go vote, but they still won't. If you figure out how to get people to actually want to fix the situation, let me know.

I know that in America, currently, "peaceful protester" is an officially classified terrorist group. That was what Occupy Wallstreet resulted in.

I have no idea what Blue MAGA is even suggesting when they say "get more involved in government outside of election season". The concept doesn't exist.

I definitely still vote on measures.

When my choices are vote for Genocide and continued severe loss of privacy of freedom A or Genocide and continued severe loss of privacy of freedom B, all I can figure is vote disenfranchised. Won't check the damn box.

Primary results where people did that have already gotten Biden change his half hour chit chat with Bibi from "your US taxpayer dollars are on the way. The weapons you are buying with those dollars are on the way" to "your US taxpayer dollars are on the way. The weapons you are buying with those dollars are on the way, try to go easier on the civilians in Gaza."

If Biden suffers a shameful and embarrassing defeat, maybe the next Democrat will figure out the correct answer is "fuck you Bibi, you genocidal maniac. Israel is cut off, that money will now be invested into fixing the healthcare crisis in America, our military is moving humanitarian aid into Gaza, and if your genocidal asshats so much as point a gun in the general direction of our soldiers and the starving citizens of Gaza, you will enjoy our crosshairs."
