Voting works.

Obviously some people still drink the kool-aid in 2024.

Ever wondered why everybody says voting is important, and it works, and democracy-this and democracy-that and yada-yada, yet things have been slowly turning more and more Orwellian and more dysfunctional for decades? Stop and think about that for a minute.

Maybe you'll get wise to reality at some point in your life. But don't worry, it's already too late: if anything, you'll be happier if you keep your blinders.

eating healthier works

oh yea?? why is my leukaemia not fixed by it then

that is the level folks are arguing at when they say voting doesnt work

voting works, voting does do something, it just isnt a fix to every political issue or a heavy handed enough approach by itself

But don’t worry, it’s already too late: if anything, you’ll be happier if you keep your blinders

the irony of losers pushing defeatist cynicism while complaining that 'go vote!!' does nothing would be funnier if it didnt come with this shit eating smug false sense of superiority

Are you 14?

Your misapprehensions are all floating in the shallows, but apparently you think they're deep.

It's hard for people to accept we're not heading towards the star trek future they were promised for their entire lives lol.

Its a real cold shock when they wake up and realize we're in for civilizational collapse and misery.
