      That’s oligarchy apologetics bullshit to keep us from changing the system. No need to make things more democratic if we’re blaming the majority of people.

        Sorry – no one can hear how right you are, over the simple glee of blaming the working class for getting so disenfranchised.

        Larceny this, mugging that… Can we talk about the greater reach of white collar crime a sec, r?

          Ah, sadly, no. That story was cut from the broadcast because we found a story about a dog that rides a motorcycle in Sioux City.
          “Market research” by our corporate owners says that white collar crime doesn’t bring in the advertising dollars unless the victims are other wealthy people.

      I said this a million times last year on the leftist threads to people crying about the lesser evil. I don’t wish any pain on their lives but I also don’t know how to get through their thick skulls how real life can get unless they experience it from time to time.

    • Because voting is not compulsory in your country so there’s no incentive to provide accessibility for people to vote.

      Face it, you need a different system. Not going to happen without violence though… It’s a very sad state of affairs.

      That’s the same number it’s been for 100 years. You’re never going to change that by pointing it out so what is the goal of this conversation?

          No, voter suppression and the two party system are what got us in this situation.

          We don’t have such low voter participation because of vibes. It’s structural.
