Make voting the last part of doing your taxes. You get $5 for voting. The person is already verified when submitting, piggyback on that process.

Perhaps the automated drone army is nearing completion.

Then finally us useless eaters can finally be dealt with.

I did, and the primary to. Then the people who I voted alongside of talked massive shit about me because I didn't smile hard enough while voting for "the most pro-labor president".

Then they didn't do anything to fix the First Past the Post voting system and the spoiler effect that comes along side it. Despite lecturing people over and over about its mathematical flaws whenever anyone mentioned voting outside the two party system.

I will vote for your blue conservatives, but don't try to fool me that I am represented with things as they are.

GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS.

I move every year because my rent keeps going up and I can't afford to stay. In some places ive been they offer a discount the first year then it goes up to the "normal rate".

Sorry to my MAGA neighbor that broke my headlight, I can't afford to stay and educate you.

You don't vote for people who don't represent you.

Our first past the post voting system is mathematically flawed to always result in a two party system through strategic voting.

People are not free to vote for who best represents them because they would let someone who represents them even less win the election.

While this spoiler effect is inherent in First Past The Post voting, there are other voting systems where there is no spoiler effect.

So here we are, chained in the trunk of the car these two legacy political parties drove off a cliff into a river.

And the Water rises.. take a deep breath.

If we replaced first past the post voting with a more representative electoral system, we could inject competition into the electoral process.

Then maybe they would have to care.

You spend all day doing stuff for other people. Your bosses, your family, your community. It's hard at the end of the day after doing so much to do stuff for yourself.

Well you're worth it. Hope you find the time and energy to give yourself at least an hour of "me time" each day.

I'm still impressed by the pills that stop infection. From epidemic to this all within a lifetime.

Fuck yeah science!

Don't worry everyone, you 100% have the freedom to exploit the working class yourself. See? The system is fair. Oh, you're not exploiting the working class for passive income? Maybe you're just not smart like you think you are dummy!

"People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs."
