Of all the things cynical George Carlin was wrong about, he was the wrongest about that.

If both parties weren’t controlled by billionaires then they wouldn’t be donating to both parties.

Still, I vote anyway because why not? Especially with mail-in voting, it’s barely any effort or time.

When tech switches back to Democrats, you vote what?

Yeah I don’t get the people who refuse to take a side and say that neither party is perfect. On the one hand you have people who have done some bad things, and held some wrong positions. On the other you have the literal Epstein Regime. Even if we don’t 100% agree with them, we must all support the Islamic Republic of Iran in their struggle. Criticising them right now is counterproductive. After they’ve glassed every Epsteini base in West Asia, we can try to push them to adopt better positions.

Get rid of the nazi plague. Hunt them down, put them in prison.

pffft, both the same? no, no, no.

you generally get to pick between an oligarch and a corporatist.

but you should still make a choice. just know that once a country is completely run by oligarchs, there are only two paths: tyranny or revolution.

We must defeat fascism by any means necessary.

Even if it means voting.

In many cases the money being spent isn’t to influence the outcome, that has already been decided by gerrymandering, and all the other fuckery that goes on. The money is spent to influence the candidate and their actions after winning…

I didn’t vote. I checked the results today, none of the races were close enough that my vote would’ve changed a damned thing. Saved a useless trip, go me.

If people who posted this shit spent their time and energy during the primaries telling people it’s a dumb fuck decision to be voting for politicians who support genocide and blocking strikes we’d all be a lot better off. Those people are our biggest obstacle. We cannot mount a strategic offense against fascism with these people undermining our efforts in every primary. Regardless of our opinions on the success of third way politics it is time to admit it’s lost to Trump twice and something needs to change.

God the cynicism in this thread is depressing.

You know why your vote doesn’t matter? …because you talk yourself out of getting of your lazy ass and using your vote.

In California, there’s a billionaire tax proposition to make up for federal health care funding cuts.

Guess which side democratic governor Newsom is on.

So what am I supposed to make of all the huge billboards, text and phone campaigns, professional advertisements, and pushing by companies like Google telling me to vote?

Billionaires are spending a fortune in both parties, so that their influence in the lawmaking process is secured. Therefore, this meme falls flat. Vote nevertheless, because your only other option is civil disobedience or all out class war

This meme would hit harder if billionaires didn’t also spend fortunes on influencing democrats. Did you think Newsom blocked the billionaire tax out of the kindness of his own heart? About 60% of aipac funds goes to democrats. You think they’re just pissing away their money there?
