Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

    Is this PsyOps to keep people discouraged?

    The OP has a point and for some reason you don’t like it. I wonder which of the people you’d be in this analogy.

    I understand feeling angry and dejected, but if you act like there’s absolutely no hope, then there won’t be. Votes still matter in this country. Maybe they’re not counted in exactly the way you’d like, but they’re still important, and they make a difference.

      The OP said the option was between going off a cliff or going for ice cream.

      I’m telling you in reality our options are going off a cliff or bursting into flames. And THAT is why people don’t vote.

      By the way, votes do not matter. The Electoral College trumps all. Every time I’ve ever voted for something, the opposite thing won. Votes don’t fucking matter.

      The only psyop is the media telling everyone that votes do matter.

          People like you think it’s fun to watch. And you think it’s meaningful. So they’ve got plenty of audience in people like you.

        Why do you keep insisting that the only race that matters is for the Presidency? You keep hidng behind your superior moral stance based on the Electoral Colleges flaws. The electoral college only pertains to the presidency.

        What’s going on in your local school board or city council races? If you can’t answer, then perhaps reconsider who may be falling for a psy-op.

          That’s the race that’s being discussed, were not talking about local elections in this bus metaphor, it’s very clearly the presidential election being discussed, which explains the mentioning of the EC
