    No. Clearly the solution is to continue to abandon anyone outside the US because they don’t matter. /s

    Good to know our American citizens mean fuck-all to you then.

    But more directly: HOW are you going to work on it? Who is gonna do that? The capitalist/imperialist who you’ve pledged your vote to unconditionally?

    It’s not unconditional. If you root yourself in reality for a few minutes, you’ll see we have three choices:

    • Mask-off Fascism
    • Imperialism/Neoliberalism that appears to at least kinda court progressives.
    • Burn it all down, fucking the most amount of people in the process.

    Which are you picking? I don’t see any actionable grand solutions or saints coming from you and your ilk. I do not have answers on how to fix it, and I doubt :checks watch: 6 days before the election is enough time to figure it out.

    To be abundantly clear, I do not like these choices. None of them. The only one I can stomach is the second one, and there does not appear to be any viable alternatives right now.

    Ask me more about my life story! So far you have this:

    • I’m a trans woman.
    • I engage with trolls.
    • I like sarcasm a lot.

    As for your sports team context, if I played this like sports, I’d turn the TV off. Unfortunately, I was kidnapped and placed on the field in a cage, and if one side wins I get shot. The other side wins and I get to hang out in the cage some more. There’s a small contingency in the crowd calling to burn the stadium down with everyone on the field (including me) and half of the crowd going down with it. /m

    Oh, also, apologies about missing all of the tone tags. /gen

    Then I guess a bit of critical thinking will need to be applied. My comment was very obvious sarcasm.

    /nbr, /ay but also /nay

    Are you worried because someone might think me, a trans woman, is advocating for the internment of everyone who is not a white cishetero male Christian nationalist in favor of trains running in time? Cause… Me too honestly.

    /gen

    I get that the state of the US is abysmal, but if anyone is taking that comment seriously I hope they choke on a shotgun. /srs

    /nay

    Do you honestly think people would take my first comment seriously? /gen A simple perusal of my post history shows how much I fucking loathe Trump and republicans and I’m starting to get sick of hearing solutions to our government that amount to “stop compromising and burn it to the ground” without any regard for the consequences or reality. /lh

    EDIT: That last portion after my question was /nay, just to be clear. There’s others in these comments who are basically saying that because everything sucks or kinda sucks we need to end it, even if it hurts other people. /gen

    dun dun dun, dun

    “Wow, that’s a lot of words.”

    dun dun dun, dun

    “Shame I’m not gonna read any of em .”

    Anyway, all joking aside… This system is problematic and needs to be worked on. But I promise you the fix is not “abandon our most vulnerable citizens and our sovereignty for my mental picture of a utopia”.

    Haha! Yeah, fuck lgbtq people, disabled people, people on medicare, black people, hispanic people, non-christians, and the poor. Put them in camps. They just bitch and moan anyway. I’m sure there are other people calling this a dangerous election who just say it every year, stuff them in the camps too! We gotta make them trains run on time!

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
