So what’s your solution? Do nothing and let the fascists take over?

Don’t fall for the misdirection. Sure, vote. But don’t belive it changes anything.

Start a revolution that will (at best) get put down quickly and nothing changes?

Take the occupy wall street approach, not the BLM approach.

The only way to really show force is to do a general strike, but no one has the community support networks to outlast the capital class to get shit done.

Yes yes yes. A one day strike. A one hour strike. A Japanese bus driver refuse fares strike (if applicable).

So for now, we either vote to keep shit from spiralling

My disillusion sees this as both easy to do and damaging because that’s all people do once every 4 years. Dur. I did my part, I voted.

Spoken from a place of privilege, where the consequences of your choice don’t affect those around you.

You don’t need privilege to observe when your vote doesn’t matter.

It matters to me who wins and loses, because one person winning means the rest of us lose and may not have a chance again.

It doesn’t matter who wins or loses because the corporatocracy wins if the wheel lands on red or blue.

I have people I love who may not have rights in a year or two depending on how things play out.

Misdirection again, although this time with serious side effects. The bigger the difference between the parties in social policies, the smaller the difference in economic policies. Corporatocracy wins either way.
