    Way to pretend there couldn’t possibly exist a leftist critique of American electoralism on a platform created by Marxists, but you do you.

      Yes, but also, the timing is always dangerous. Let’s removed about it all however much we want, but let’s not fall for the thought trap of growing disenfranchised from the voting process, however rigged it may be. Whatever argument you have against the system, we all have to admit that Trump winning the first time was not something even the establishment expected. If they can do surprises, so can we. Their biggest trick is to make you think your vote doesn’t matter when it so clearly does, even when the electoral college is stacked against it. The electoral college wouldn’t be so dearly protected if your vote didn’t matter.

      … Not that I’m saying you personally hold these views, but I’ve seen them around enough that I feel the need to voice my thoughts as well.

        Since you knew Harris would not win without our votes last election, and you knew we wouldnt vote for her, then why did you? Thats basically the same as voting for Trump.
