Sorry but I've been hearing this every election since I was old enough to vote.

That's right everyone, it's that time again, THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFE! You of course only have 2 "real" choices, and if you vote for anyone beside who I think you should vote for you are a racist, a sexist, a fascist, you smell bad, you are a bigot, you are selfish, you are naive, and hundreds of other things. I'm a VERY serious political commentator who happens to be extremely privileged with the status quo, so make sure to vote within the parameters I've outlined above, our democracy depends on it.

This has been said my entire life and I have reached the conclusion that any election year where a republican or a democrat wins is not the most import election. It will be the most important when we decided to move on and stop repeated the same process.

The climate is the most important issue we face, that is why it is critical that we reelect the president who has unilaterally renewed and expanded oil and gas leases to make the US the worlds largest Petroleum supplier once again.

I can't understand how Americans can believe they are an actual democracy. There are only two parties with actual chances. They both have the exact same position in anything that matters economically, they both won't stop to fuck the future of everybody in the planet because they are owned by the same megacorps. but they have minor disagreements about how hard it should be to buy guns at Wal-Mart, so let's pretend your vote makes any difference at all...

Pretty sure I've heard this every election since Trump got elected. Though, admittedly, not from a noted gorilla scientist.

Having one party interested in ending democracy will do that.

What democracy?

silence7 OP ,

The partial imperfect one that a big chunk of Americans vote in between last week and November.

The United States of America is a bourgeois dictatorship, not a democracy. The only important election of our lives will be the first one after the Workers take control.

I plan on voting Claudia and Karina 2024 and I recommend that others do the same.

Yeah, it's going to be the most important thing every election year from now on.

And before now. It's almost like elections are always important.

And that's why my focus has been and will continue to be on improving our election process. I don't like the two major parties, so we should eliminate the spoiler effect by using a better voting system. I don't like that my state has extremely gerrymandered districts (100% goes to party A, despite party B getting 30-40% of the vote), so we should consider proportional representation for House seats. I think voting by mail is the best option, and I don't like that many areas disallow/restrict that. And so on.

Yeah, climate is important, but we should be focusing on voting reform since that's the only way to pick something other than the two clowns that make it to my ballot every year.
