Something that i find prettyd disgusting these days is how certain people put their political ideologies / viewpoints over human lives, for example, celebrating the russian invasion of ukraine because it is "a blow against US / NATO imperialism" completely ignoring all the warcrimes, the deaths, and the suffering generated by that war, the same happening with the palestinian genocide because "Israel is the only working democracy on the middle east", acting like their ideoligies are going to bring back to life all the dead people somehow

Politics sets the rules for how you live. Literally including things like whether you live or die. It's hard to think about anything you should care about more.

Which is why I'm voting third party. I meant, why should I care about your opinion? It doesn't matter either way. Trump and Biden are both awful. Neither will get my vote.

Not equally so, by a large margin. I will watch Trump get elected and come back here in four years and we'll see how you feel then. Out of curiosity, how would you rate the current state of the US out of ten? I'll need this to compare.

If Trump gets elected, that's the 2 party systems fault. Not mine. You're barking up the wrong tree, loser. Go cry to someone who cares.

Oh woe is me I refuse to do the right thing because it's just Too Hard in this rigged system waaaaahhhhhh

There are two types of bad people. Those who are malicious, and hurt others to help themselves. And those who are stupid, and hurt everyone, including themselves. You know where I'm going with this.
