    Oh yes I understand how you think voting works. You go in and pull the lever for whoever the party tells you or you get the stick again. But that’s not a democracy. In a democracy the party bends to the will of the people. Not the people to the party. Or else the Party gets the stick again.

      Ahh. I get it. You haven’t yet figured out how things work yet. You’re still at that age where you think that you get what you want by simply asking for it, and when reality doesn’t comply- you throw temper tantrums and threaten to take your ball and go home when the other kids don’t play by your rules.

      I think it’s called…. Idealism?

      It’s all good. was the same way when I was young. Granted, I grew up and learned how things work before I could partake in anything too stupid- like… socialism.

      I’m going to just ignore you now as I feel arguing with you is unfair and pointless.

        Lmao. Real democracy is a temper tantrum? Are you sure you aren’t trying to stooge for an oligarchy?

          Real democracy is voting. And I’m not about to be lectured on politics by someone that’s not voting over a single issue they didn’t give two shits about less than a year ago.

            I never said I’m not voting. I said I’m not voting for Biden. And being forced to vote for someone still isn’t a democracy, no matter how much make up you put on it.

              Right… all over something you didn’t give a shit about before it became something that could help you get your boy elected.

                Did you go check my reddit history? My liveleak history? Read my college papers? No? You’re ridiculous.

                  Nope. Not going to either. I’ve read your history here. And what you say here is what matters. I don’t even know what liveleak is and don’t care.

                  Be responsible for your words here.

                  You had nothing to say about Palestine prior to October. Period. End of argument.
