Your hypothetical isn’t the reality. Laws aren’t real. A bill is words. Capitalism enslaves us all with no regard for your heath and safety. Everything you seem to be saying is to defend the system killing you and relying on it to stop working as intended. This isn’t news to me. And you don’t know about any of my decisions but if you can count on me voting my conscience from here on out and if you need my vote to survive your candidate should align with that. That’s on you. I’ll die with you for my beliefs the time for compromise has passed. Best of luck, Citizen.✊🏿🏴
Look around, the majority of people don't vote, and haven't historically. Capitalism thrives on civil inactivity, and it is getting worse. So what you do is provably not efficacious, if it were the fact that most people do not vote would have weakened the capitalist state, it proves to do the opposite. It also just helps to cement the two party dictatorship.
Something that is frustrating is that chem is right about their complaints, but then don't want to do much for it. I get the tought my way or the highway, but the incumbents are happy to take the highway on our leftists position.
Like I'm empathic to a lot of the discourse here. At one point I felt against UBI because it felt like a bribe to not address inequality and such. But then I though about it, and it still helps those who are most vulnerable to joblessness and automation be less desperate and exploitably. So I can't say no to it.
