        This seems like a bad comparison because doesn’t the roach change the system by providing nutrients via digestion? Like if I eat vegetables my body will work better than if I eat junk food or straight up poison, which would give me the ability to make other meaningful changes rather than dealing with the health consequences. I guess I’m confused or overthinking this or something idk

    If you think the statement “democracy is on the ballot” is a lie, then let’s at least hear what’s in your mind, hmm OP?

    It does feel like a sort of good cop bad cop setup in some ways, but we literally have a candidate openly advocating for fascism, concentration camps, and purging the government, this isn’t shouldn’t even be a choice this election and it shouldn’t be as close as it is.

    Just because it’s bullshit doesn’t mean it’s wrong. If you actually care maybe share memes about taking action instead of doomerism.

    I’m tiiired of constant escalating threats, so let’s pretend they’re not real. That’ll make them go away for sure.

    Also a hard pill from the party that hates primaries (and it’s not just this cycle or 2020, the DNC blacklists consultants who work with primary candidates the party hasn’t ordained the winner for forever). Vote for the anointed one, the candidate (chosen by a legitimate primary election) on the other side is going to destroy democracy, which you can tell we cherish by not even trusting our own registered party members to vote for candidates!

      It’s true, the Democrats are not our friends. But at least they’re not trying to actively set the house on fire while we’re in it.
