 I can respect that position because I do think that 99% of politics is just theater. However, I don't think that we inherently automatically lose just because of one candidate. In terms of the U.S. election, we definitely will lose if Kamala gets it. Whereas, if Trump gets it, we have a chance to at least have a slightly better economy, stronger military, more secure borders, and we won't have the federal government pushing DEI values down our throats every five seconds.

The irony is that by seeing the two-party system split into harsher extremes, we get a candidate that aligns a lot more with libertarian values despite not being libertarian... And that candidate certainly ain't the cackling, drunken communist. 
 Fuck 'em both. Smart people will be well-behooved to bypass all the current systems (because they're all tyrannical, corrupt or both, eventually, and/or based upon corruption) and create their own.  
 Yeah, because that accomplishes so much... Like it or not, this is the political hand we're dealt and I'm not comfortable destroying the country just because I don't like either candidate. 
 Sorry, can't hear you over my agorist community building-activities. #agorism #anarchism

 lol who said I was destroying the country? 
 If you're going to abstain from voting, you're only helping Kamala win and we all know she DEFINITELY will destroy the country.
