    I find it funny that so many people feel it’s pointless to vote for parties that represent their views. Don’t lie to yourself that we live in a democracy

      Exactly this. People who hate facism telling you you have no choice in your vote. Umm… that’s… kinda fascist…

      Don’t lie to yourself that we live in a democracy

      How ignorant are you? We vote for someone. They become our representative. That happens in reality. Is money corrupting it? No fucking duh. Big congrats on figuring that out.

      But still. We vote. It happens. We still have elections. Sometimes the underdog wins, which means it’s still legitimate. For now.

      What we’re experiencing is democracy working, but in a situation where propaganda is winning, which is possible in a democracy. It corrupts democracy.

      Our democracy picked Trump because our society is sick.
