    I can jump off a building using a parachute in hopes it will open and generate enough drag to save me in time. A miracle, but it can happen.

    Or I can board the skydiving plane everyone is boarding and reduce the risk of above happening.

      If you don’t want change, that’s okay. There’s people who do, though.

        I do want change. Unfortunate for you, I am not in the US. I am from the rest of the world that was affected by your selfish decisions and ‘moral high ground’ decisions. Thanks for voting for some 3rd party that wouldn’t have any realistic chance in today’s US of winning. Instead of, you know, helping the rest of the US push for Harris. Under Harris you had all the time in the world to get people in the millions if you wanted to vote for Jill or whoever else. You must have slept so well that night knowing you didn’t help everyone pushing to stop Trump with a lesser evil.

        But sure, preach to me how you want change by doing no realistic action contributing to it. You were on a sinking ship and you put a plaster over a breached hull. Congrats.

        Next time, if you want to take down any system, you must first partake in the system. Everyone has hopes & dreams of a 3rd party winning in the U.S. but it was very. Very fucking vital to give that idea up with Trump on the ballot.

          What made you think I’m from the US? I’m from the Netherlands, a country that, thank god, hadn’t americanized to the point of only having 2 parties to vote on.

          I’m active in my local politics, work in the social field, I’m spending most of my live making the world a better place. I’m active in resistance communities in support of immigrants, repressed students, and the current cost-of-living crisis here. What are you on about.

          You make so many assumptions it’s fucking hilarious.

          The way to fix the fasiscm is not by playing the fascism game. It’s by acting and showing that there’s a social alternative. And that alternative has fuck all to do with liberalist like the dems.

          Go seethe in your corner while the rest of us try to make the world a better place for everyone.
