@MakBerberovic yeah, no. Your post is half straw man and half ad hominem. If you want to misrepresent me, we can't have a discussion. Bring it to the conservatives, I'm not here for mindless drama, and I'm not interested in engaging a troll anymore.

@MakBerberovic endorsing incremental change just perpetuates the myth of incremental change. The vote between Biden and Trump is between an ideology of continued quiet genocide vs. loud Nazi themed genocide.

Also, Americans don't know just how bad things are. Most of us are blind and ignorant to anything even remotely political. We are so burned out, disillusioned, and disenfranchised that most of us don't even vote. Life is shit and standing in line isn't going to change it.

If the corrupt, self-serving, bribe-taking, establishment lapdogs want our votes, they need to champion our causes. Otherwise, the general consensus is that politicians and the rich really only exist to fuck is all over, and maybe the Dems will MAYBE throw the poor a bone. MAYBE. Otherwise we will continue to starve, suffer under rotting systems, and hope to make it to retirement.

The other hot button topics are in our minds, for sure, but most of us are treading water, and we know politicians will never help us.

So why waste your vote? Because orange man bad? How about a different boogyman? Voting for a non-establishment is not the same as throwing your vote away. That has always been a lie. It's a lie today. It will always be a lie.

Your vote does not fight anything, it can only give power. The recipient is under no contract to uphold any campaign promises. Give power to people who deserve it, because the ones who don't deserve it will only help themselves.

Hey Mastodon, tired of being told to "vote strategically, not with your emotions"? Here's the truth: it's a privileged argument that only serves to maintain establishment power. Progressive candidates are silenced with false equivalences to, and threats of losing to, the Right. Meanwhile, establishment politicians keep being rewarded for moving to the Right themselves. It's time to invest your vote in what will actually make a difference - voting for a progressive candidate. Yes, even if they may not win, your vote shifts the political landscape, and can make America move Left. The politician you vote for CARRIES the political power you give them through to the next election cycle. Meanwhile, that's LESS punching power for the fat cats!!! The electoral college prevents your vote from being as significant as it should be, so voting progressive is the best way to make your vote ACTUALLY count. #ProgressivePolitics #VoteProgressive #PoliticalShift #Election2024

@Mrfunkedude I suspect that won't be an issue. Permaculture artificial wetlands are extremely effective for cleaning water, hemp is a great universal resource, and you have to actively try and fail to grow it. The Robot Masters would probably be growing it out of necessity, anyway.
