      How about you put on your thinking cap and understand why voting 3rd party in a presidential election is fucking pointless?

          America is an imperialist… Hellhole… that funded the Nazis during World War II, Russia defeated the Nazis. We are leaving the era of neoliberalism. Both political parties are fascist right-wingers. I’ve been kind of obsessed with political sciences since I was a kid. I could go on forever and recommend books but people would just argue. I’m okay with that. I just don’t have the energy anymore. I would really like to live outside of the Imperial Core in areas not being currently bombed by the empire. I fell for the whole Bernie and AOC thing for a little bit but now I completely see them as the sellouts that they are. Also, let’s just say for aoc and bernie were in charge. It’s not gonna change anything. Also during college, I knew Israel and Palestine were going to be an issue. But I never thought I would ever be able to express this to Americans now it is a issue dividing America. I see the same tricks of the Empire that I saw during the Afghan-Iraq war. It’s actually terrifying once you are plugged in and you understand what’s going on around you. I know people roll their eyes at America bad takes, but we are incredibly bad. So I guess at the end of the rant, once you really educate yourself on these matters, you do realize that the presidential election is actually pointless. The USA Foreign policy never really changes. People say focus on local change, but at the end of the day, it is the foreign policy that dictates how our lives will be locally. If you are a mathematical person and you can see the proportions, you really understand how of a dire situation we are all in. Also, Russia is a shithole that is also a capitalist country and China is also a capitalist country. Communism lost. The only thing we have left now is global capitalism. And history is repeating itself. Welcome to the new Dark Ages.

            Sure thing, all progress that has been made in terms of rights in the US has happened without voting. Through demands and violence are rights won and maintained; not electoralism which has only cost us rights over time
