Dawg, I never called you my comrade. I'd like to think that I have better taste in allies than associating with folks who will literally accuse me of spreading "election lies" when I state the clear and obvious fact that American elections are rigged for rich people. A fact that can in fact be proven, empirically, by a simple google search which will reveal many respected LIBERAL scholars saying the exact same thing I am in more flowery words.
We ain't comrades. Go fuck yourself.
Fine, I'll do it for you:

You're fucking lazy, I wasn't even TRYING when I put this thread together you absolute fucking muppet.
I could OBVIOUSLY keep going, for days if I wanted to.
Google "ALEC" and "The Federalist Society" and "The Clairmont Institute"
I'm just not gonna spend the next fifty days proving to you that water is in fact wet.
Though THIS was a fun article, and it's even written from a liberal perspective so I guess I'll share this one last one:

"Stop saying US elections are rigged it's what the fascists say!"
Mutherfucker? EVERY fascist accusation is a CONFESSION so if that's gonna be your praxis we're going to stop talking about ANYTHING meaningful which is EXACTLY what the nazis want.
Pinhead.
@AnarchoNinaWrites I confess I may have some suds still lingering around from 40+ years of being brainwashed. I need to dig deep into the cracks of my subconscious to get those pieces out, figuratively speaking.
@GreenRoc Decolonization (and yes, rejecting capitalist propaganda and headcages is part of decolonization) is a life-long process for anyone who grew up in a fascist society. I am still unlearning junk they fed me as a child, despite being a 46 year old anarchist who has ready a couple thousand books and papers on the subject. (Not an exaggeration.)
