    I can’t imagine being braindead enough where you read that and thought I have made a decision. Did you even read it or did your shitlib dog whistle brainwashing kick in and cause you to reflexively/involuntarily smugly chime in here?

    neoliberal clap back

    The subject of the article was crypto. It’s a subject that I know a ton about. I spoke truthfully about how each of the pieces of shit that we’re expected to cast a vote for are aligned in regards to impending fascism.

    Edit: actually I accidentally deleted my other comment. Our discussion wasn’t THAT infuriating. I just want to express my opinion without someone jumping down my throat as a Trump supporter or reflexively downvoting me. Truth be told, I hate Trump very much but understand that it’s the power vacuum and corruption on the “left” that has allowed Trumpism to gain a foothold in the US.

      Stifle? No. Just pointing out how odd it is to say the democratic process isn’t democracy. If you don’t like the options, go win some local and state primaries. Put non-fascist crypto folks on the menu and see how they do in the general. Push the party left. No one did that and here we are.

      Decrying that this isn’t democracy when you’re not trying to participate is a fascinating take. But also reducing it all to crypto here - no matter what direction it takes you - that’s fucking weird.

      But no, me saying you’re wrong isn’t stifling. This is a discussion board. If you can’t handle discussion maybe post these thoughts on a blog.

      Edit: I love how you reposted to say what you had to say in an even more offensive way. Like you read what you wrote and decided you were coming across to kindly and needed to throw some ad hominem attacks and such in. Sure sign of a winning argument.

        You got a chance to participate in Democracy/vote in the DNC primary this year? That’s crazy! How did you do it?!?!?!?

        Did you cast a vote for Kamala Harris? That’s super interesting!!!

        Here I was thinking that they just installed her as the new candidate while not holding a primary because she is so unpalatable to EVERYONE that she couldn’t have possibly won a primary against ANYONE. It certainly can’t be because they intentionally tried to run a pile of barely living bones and flesh who has been pretending to run the country and has had severe dementia since 2016 because of TRADITION and finally had to admit it because even the brainwashed libs were starting to question who was behind the curtain.

          Yes. On a local and state level. Just like you. Or did you forget politics isn’t just the presidency? You want to change things, you’re never going to do it starting at the top. You have to work for it.

            I’m not going to hate on that. That’s good. I’m talking about the subject of the article. If the article had mentioned state and local elections, you’d be right on topic.
