Boy these are filling up fast and getting slow.


Main is closed

And it won't be open again until every single one of you libs VOTES!

The ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ท 2020 ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ท American ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ท Presidential ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ท Elections ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ท are the single most important political event since The Last Fascist was VOTED ๐Ÿ”ซ OUT ๐Ÿ”ซ. We on the admin team see it as our duty to enforce the views of our audience by any parasocial means necessary.

As a nacho-socialist cabal, we see no path to revolution other than by focusing the majority of our leisure time on consuming bougie media. Media that is obsessed with the details of an election we decided our preferences on months ago, if not years ago. Here's the bottom line: Voting makes you a good person and not voting makes you a bad one. Don't believe us? Just ask Lenin:

A democratic republic is the best possible political shell for capitalism, and, therefore, once capital has gained possession of this very best shell (through the Palchinskys, Chernovs, Tseretelis and Co.), it establishes its power so securely, so firmly, that no change of persons, institutions or parties in the bourgeois-democratic republic can shake it.

We must also note that Engels is most explicit in calling universal suffrage as well an instrument of bourgeois rule. Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you. Universal suffrage, he says, obviously taking account of the long experience of German Social-Democracy, is "the gauge of the maturity of the working class. It cannot and never will be anything more in the present-day state."

See? We can't let capital take control of this "very best shell"! Turtles belong to the people! And the way we do that is by voting for posts.

This bothers me so much more than the presidential election.

I'm so glad none of those stupid 17 year-olds can vote for their future in the all-encompassing gig economy
