    Funny! But like Palatine isn’t actively trying to end the voting system so am going to vote for him for the sake of the future

          How many elections that are “the most important” until people notice that representative elections don’t work? (Even in non-fptp electoral systems)

            Well, well, well. If it isn’t the exact non-answer I was expecting to get from that question. (Albeit with more spelling mistakes)

              I’m not from the US, smartypants.

              To answer your question: Electoralism is IMHO a waste of time. I’d ratherbe politically active e.g. in a union.

                So? You’re snarkily commenting on the actions of a US citizen.

                The fact remains that there’s work to be done by the people and it will either happen under Biden or Trump.

                One of those options is clearly more inhabitable than the other.

                You being from another country and sowing political discord isn’t the gotcha you think it is.

                  You were asking me what I was about to do in the coming 4 years, probably concerning US politics.

                  The fact remains that there’s work to be done by the people and it will either happen under Biden or Trump.

                  Again: You were adressing me.

                  One of those options is clearly more inhabitable than the other.

                  It’s not about inhability. It’s about a system that’s in constant peril of sliding into fascism isn’t worth defending.

                  You being from another country and sowing political discord isn’t the gotcha you think it is.

                  I’m not trying to do that. This is an international meme community about politics (nowhere it’s specified that it’s exclusively about US politics). If I’m not allowed to show my political beliefs here: where can I show them?

                  Trust me: I’d rather no nothing about the politics of that failed state. But here we are with the world police noticing that it has - like all police - a fascism problem. 🙄

        Only until you vote in better people. Then it’s a periodic duty to pick the course of your country.

        Like we could do too if we got rid of the bathroom fixation and all the anti-science pro-oil blowhards and hillbillies.

      Palpatine kinda DID end the voting system (analogue to parliamentary democracy):

      “The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I’ve just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away.” -Grand Moff Tarkin

      So, in other words, the two are more alike than is initially obvious.

    Lest anyone accuse Yog of voting for Trump, rest assured, their post history strongly implies they’re not American and have zero understanding of American politics.
