Not sacrificing your children to Baal is throwing your vote away
Oh, you’re seriously gonna pretend that moloch is better than baal is??? The hellfire demons eating civilians at random would be soo much worse if moloch were running things.
- Voting third party (i don’t care if jesus promised to end the hellfire demons, his party won’t win, and is just a spoiler for the baal vote) - a vote for moloch.
- Not prefacing a criticism of baal’s administration (cmon, we all know he realistically can’t stop the hellfire demons) without first saying you’ll vote for him? Also a vote for moloch.
- Not voting - a vote for moloch.
- Going to the bathroom? Believe it or not, also a vote for moloch.

I’m more of a Mephisto guy myself, but it never hurts to run Baal.
I would - but what children?
All have already been sacrificed to “the economy and profits”, we are waiting for people to be born to immediately sacrifice them bcs we are so much indebted to the great “the economy and profits”.
All hail “the economy and profits”, may it’s economy enslave us, and it’s profits get redistributed away from us.
For the last couple centuries, Moloch has largely been a metaphor for “the economy and profits”.
I wonder when liberals will finally start organizing with Leftists outside the confines of Dem v Rep duopoly electoralism. Given that Reform is impossible, that leaves us with Revolution.
Even on the minor, basest of chances it gains enough traction to make a tangible difference despite both parties working against it, how could a Socialist party make meaningful change without the other apparatus of the State like the military and legislative branches getting in the way?
Allende taught us what relying on electoralism will get you, even if you win.
I’m not sure the problem is the electoral system so much as it is the people who vote.
I’m not saying that voting is bad, but even if you tore down the system and replaced it overnight with something better, it’s not gonna change the way people vote. They still vote in neoliberals and conservatives and fascists.
People on the left will have more options further left, but people on the right will have more options further right.
Fixing the electoral system is still a thing to strive for, and it’ll be a positive change; just temper your expectations
Those are called checks and balances, and are there to make sure power is distributed. It’s good that you need buy in from lots of different people.
You don’t want to make a system where a few people can go drastically against the will of most people. So you’d first need to build wide support across the majority of the country or state. That’s the whole point of democracy.
