Refusing to concede and trying to overturn the election result isn’t just limited to Donald Trump anymore. This past week makes clear it’s now the playbook for every right-wing politician who loses an election.
Refusing to concede and trying to overturn the election result isn’t just limited to Donald Trump anymore. This past week makes clear it’s now the playbook for every right-wing politician who loses an election.
Elections are becoming a meaningless argument in America
The right argue about election details and deny losing
The left argue about the election that no one won
The people argue about elections they have no power or control over
The rich watch everyone fight as they take all the money and power
There is power in voting, but need enough votes and enough majority and time to make the changes people want.
Yes, the voters repeatedly support the bad policies that enable the owners to keep their power. Healthcare, living wages and paid leave for all, takes away some of the owners’ power and reduces artificial scarcity. They will never get it with maga, much closer with Dem platform, but need enough consistent majority and never have it. Then blamed for not passing the bills, or bills get sabotaged by the next swing to maga. That is the choice people made and are worse off for it over the past decade of decline in basic areas.
ok, so what do we do?
The only power people have is through their collective participation in the financial system. If everyone organized and just withheld all or most of their money from the system … then you’d get government to listen.
But trying to organize a ragtag mass of millions of people that can’t agree on the simplest things is like trying to suck water through a rock.
One of the best ideas I’ve ever heard is to organize everyone to just boycott one single company … any company … like Best Buy or Target … just one company and everyone participate and just run the company into the ground, everyone just ostracize and completely ignore it until it loses everything … everyone could keep going about their business, except do it anywhere else but that one company … it wouldn’t affect people much because there are plenty of stores out there. Do this for a few months and that one company would completely go under. Once everyone completely destroys one company, then move on to the next and keep hounding companies like this one by one. Do it for grocers, for electronics stores, for phone companies, for internet companies, for department stores, for banks, for gas stations … just keep dropping them one by one. Then you’d get these companies … and by extension the government … to listen to the people.
No one cares about your voice, your concerns or your beliefs … but they do care about your money and where it goes or where it stays … that’s where your political control lies.
The only solution is mass conversion of O2 into O3. O3 is the cure, since it’s premium oxygen, and is perfect for neutralizing all evil.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I’ve got three good options for you!
suck the dick of someone who’s very okay with choking you to death for their own pleasure, until they do and you do and they cum so hard. so hard. that could be pretty hot.
die a slave, worked to death, your entire life stolen for stupid probably-evil bullshit destroying the only world your children could have had. let them inherit your funkopops and photos of vacations with now-extinct species, if you got to rake those. that feels stable, until its not. you never have to be responsible for anything, just follow orders and be what you’ve always been. nobody could have seen the consequences of your actions that will ultimately kill you coming. nobody’s at fault, really. unless you listen to those anticapitalist criminals.
some scary risky shit, the risk that you could win, could have to make your own decisions, could have to be genuinely responsible for something that happened, have to grow and change and figure out new ways to be. you may have to forge your own morality, and revise it constantly if you survive. you may live into old age. you may get to meet your grandchildren. they might be jerks. there are a lot of risks with this one. maybe best avoided.
the concept of voting isn’t bullshit, but american representative shit is. Californians want to know: “Where the fuck is my train?”
