Americans are by far the most selfish, brutish, violent and evil people to ever exist. As long as they get their treats they are totally ok with murdering millions of people and destroying the ecosystem while lecturing you that they're doing all they can. Shithole country for shithole people. Death to America.

Libertarians: I will have sex with this child. Then crush it due to no non-aggression pact.

You have to vote for them because another guy would crush the child even more.

After reading remarks from libs on Lemmy, I want to point out two things:

  1. No significant number of leftists would vote for a real estate mogul turned fascist gameshow host. If you believe otherwise, it's likely because it makes thinking about the US political situation easier by giving you another illiberal fall guy.

  2. Voting in the US is a pastiche of democratic participation, made to look like we've been handed all we need to make the democracy machine go brrr. We revere it so much because it's the best we've ever had, but other braver and more imaginative people have tried more direct, less capitalistic methods of democracy, usually before being crushed, libelled, bombed or couped by the US and its allies. If Americans ever find the backbone to collectively fight and make sacrifices for something better, future generations might have a chance of not growing up in the most grotesque, inhuman future imaginable. Libs can help with this, but you're the only ones who can decide whether you put your efforts toward capitalism or democracy. They're like oil and water.
