We don't have a "representative democracy," we have an oligarchy.
Our representation was lobbied away, like, 2 decades ago. Now they're just mocking us.
Go vote anyways.
- mulmen 6y agoWhat was the turning point? Why vote if the system is an oligarchy?
- seph-reed 6y agoHow about when we started a war with a country that hadn't attacked us so that some oil tycoons could line their pockets? Did anyone vote on that? Just sending innocent civilians to die so some rich fuck could get richer? How about "Corporations are people"? Was that for the good of the American public? What about this current administration? Pretty much everyone in power doesn't belong there and does more to serve those who pay them (through lobbying) than the public. Vote anyways because it's good for PR and slows down the spread of corruption.
