    Yes I agree, my finger waving is just for me, it’s to make me feel better while I die because I have no other option.

    As I said in my last comment, the slow arsonist (dems) have repeatedly demonstrated and continue to demonstrate that they will never move left and will only move right so that means that even if they are the slower arsonists I still have no opportunity to “escape or mitigate the damage.” as you put it because the dems are working their hardest to block all of those opportunities and refuse to ever open those opportunities to the country.

    We’re all fucked

      Oh I totally agree.

      But voting liberal (eg Dems in the USA) gives us more time to find a solution. It’s not the solution, it’s just a stalling tactic. Even when they’re trying to block opportunities, it still results in relatively more opportunities than otherwise. I think there is value in that.

      There are times when spoiling a ballot or even voting the other way is good, it sends a message which may (unlikely) cause a shakeup. But to simply never participate just accelerates the destruction.
