    Ahh shit, I didn’t know it was the people with principles that are to blame for the left! I think the disconnect comes from the prioritization of which “Reality” you’re referring to. If you take the reality of the MIC, Climate change, Class warfare, Political Polarization, Government corruption, etc… Well your “Political Reality” feels like someone arguing over the driver seat while the car is free falling off a cliff. I’ll be voting this coming election but I’m under no pretense that voting or the system itself actually works (popular vote and all), so I won’t judge those who choose differently. It is still a democracy after all right? People get to choose what they do still? Or can we stop that charade and all admit it’s lost already if it’s “vote blue no matter who”?

      Yup, it’s the people with moral platitudes smelling their own farts thinking that they’re taking the highest path and everyone around them are just morally inferior bigots that hold back the left. The ones that propose lofty goals, aspire to dream of the perfect world, and then when are asked how to get there always answer “I don’t know but we have to!” or “Fight the rich!” - Well that’s just dandy little Timmy but do you have a policy idea? Something we can reasonably campaign on to put into law or are you just giving us your ideological end point?

      Fucking worthless. Less than worthless.

      You don’t get to abstain from the system, you merely get to choose how you participate. Not voting is still participating no matter how much you feel like it might be a protest against it. Plenty of people don’t vote, we still have elections. Trump won, we didn’t get better Democratic candidates. Your current choices are to vote blue and kick the can down the road, vote red and succumb to evil, or don’t vote and reassure yourself there’s no blood on your hands however it shakes out. You want to change the system? Great! Another lofty ideological goal.

      Got a reasonable idea on where to start? Of course not. Fucking worthless.

      Reality is gritting your teeth and making uncomfortable choices knowing it’s the best you can do right now. It’s understanding you can’t make the choice you want because you don’t have the means. It’s having to pay for medical bills when you really wanted that new TV. My brother I have so many political dreams, the chief among them being UBI, but I’m well adjusted enough to know I have no solutions on how to make it reality. So I just dream about it. The difference is I realize what my dreams are without solutions.

      Fucking worthless.

            How compelling, I can see why you guys are doing so well at this “governing” thing-

            Also America falling into ruin would take its boot off the necks of all of my comrades abroad. You can say “trump would be worse” but the biden body count is way higher at this point, in only one term!
