    Jfc, the fact that anyone still believes we can vote our problems away is beyond depressing…

    Voting for the third and smaller of the puppets is still voting for a puppet. They all still serve capitalism, not people, they all still want to maintain the status quo, not bring actual change. The illusion of choice is just another distraction by those in power to keep themselves there.

    Continuing to play within the rules written by and in defence of the system will only ever result in us staying under the boot that is said system, that’s a fact that is never going to change, the sooner people realise this, the sooner we can move towards actual change (where society is designed by and for all of its members, not by and for the rich).

      You do realise that PR works and produce a much wider parliament in other countries? Look at Scandinavian countries? Would you call them capitalist hell-holes with their free healthcare, free schooling, generous pensions and social care?

      Yeah I know but I’m still going to vote for them. Greens stand no chance and Starmer is a prick whose Labour stance is barely even diet Tory any more he’s sucked so much conservative dick. At least the LibDems aren’t transphobic and want to rejoin the EU.

      And yes, I am a millenial who was sorely disappointed by voting for them back in the day, but I’ve been far, far more disappointed by Labour in recent years since they fucked over Corbyn.

      I don’t expect anything to change by voting, the world is still irreparably fucked and climate collapse is imminent, but it’s nice to have the illusion of choice.
