      If you’re legally allowed to vote in the USA, you almost certainly do vote for capitalists, largely due to fundamental flaws in First Past the Post - you have no way not to. Both abstaining from voting and voting third party are mathematically equivalent to voting for a capitalist, it just makes it messier working out which one you voted for.

        no, they’re not. calling your storytelling “math” doesn’t change its veracity.

          Yes, they are. Obstinately refusing to understand the mathematics of voting doesn’t change the math.

            i’ve seen explications before, but i’m open to the possibility that you have a novel theory that is testable, falsifiable, and valid.
