Most of them realize their material conditions remain the same despite which shade of fascism is running the government

Sure, but the fascists who aren't in power might get into power if they realised there's a lot more people who don't vote, than there are people who vote third party or might switch votes from one party to the other, which seems to have been the strat for 30 years now.

So people should vote for politicians that do nothing to improve quality of life so we dont get a made up scenario

jesse-wtf you got this far in this text thread and you think I'm arguing for the democrats? Jfc I at least have the decency to present it as a question when I think someone is spouting nonsense.

Yeah man I'm totally for bourgeois democracy and I think the democratic party can be reformed and win and I think it'd be good if they did it by promising things and not doing them, that is definitely a rational conclusion to draw from my text in this thread.

Goddamn the whole internet is twitter these days
