Oh no why didn’t the DNC serve me my ideal candidate in a silver platter? I didn’t participate in primaries, I didn’t participate in local elections and then I ended up having to vote for Hillary! I’m going to protest by letting a clown take office.

And then when it turns out the clown is a fascist dictator I’m going to keep arguing about why my favorite candidate isn’t being served up to me in a silver platter!

Yes the system sucks and the Democrat candidates suck, but you can’t fix the system by abstaining your vote at the last second.

THE CORRUPT SYSTEM DEPENDS ON YOUR THIS EXACT BEHAVIOR.

And I know you probably did participate but it wasn’t enough. You need to convince others, you need to protest and raise awareness when it matters.

Letting a clown dictator run the country doesn’t further your cause.

Fuck the DNC their corrupt system pushed Bernie out unfairly. There’s no disagreement there. But people abstain from voting because they’re upset with the DNC. That’s what I have an issue with. That’s like getting mad at fire so you let it burn your house down.

Sorry didn’t mean to come off so harsh.

Not a terrible idea initially, blend in with farm equipment, excellent off road capability, small and nimble. However there’s a reason Geneva conventions require military personnel and equipment to be distinct from civilians.

Do you want all your civilian farmers blown up? Because this is how you do that.

There’s no way they make enough from Nigeria to warrant paying that fine. They’ll just threaten to close shop there and the government will just drop the fine.

True. Although it’s Facebook. They could just tweak the algo in favor of the opposition candidate.

Were you born yesterday? This is the whole game. If you get frustrated and don’t vote you get fucked harder. The only winning strategy is to keep voting against fascism and then after the election you go protest and raise hell so we can have a more fair primary, or God forbid we can get rid of first past the post voting.

I only read Lenny, obv I’m missing some meme about him fucking couches?

I absolutely agree with this comic, and in a lot of ways I was the kid on the left.

I struggle with the solution though. Isn’t it the purpose of all life about giving your offspring a better chance?

When we give the kid on the right more opportunity, the left side will keep increasing their investment until it’s lopsided in their favor again.

Maybe it’s not about trying to reach some theoretical absolute equity, but keeping the distribution at a healthy balance so that one side is not completely locked out of the game. That’s healthier for the whole community too since healthy competition ensures there’s progress.

Well the first naive argument against that would be, why would anyone work hard to become an attorney if it doesn’t pay more than anything else? Why spend years in school if it’s not going to get you ahead?

I guess in the star trek universe you do it because you like it?

I want to believe maybe that might work?
