    What’s your strategy?

    I’m not saying you’re wrong on some points, but tell me how you’re going to fix the “corporate hellscape.”

    And not a simple, “vote for a 3rd party” response. Provide a viable, long-term strategy for getting out of this mess.

    Then tell me which candidate gives you the highest likelihood of executing your strategy.

      Biden.

      I’m voting Biden because Trump is demonstrably worse.

      That being said, if you think that Biden is going to prevent the next conservative candidate from gaining steam: you are simply fucking dumb. If you think that the libs are going to prevent the next conservative candidate from gaining steam: you are simply fucking dumb. You stifling any conversation because you don’t like the context matter and are predispositioned to assume you’re unable to reach any consensus with the person on the other side is, guess what? BAD.

      tell me how you’re going to fix the “corporate hellscape”.

      I can’t. I would need the help of the people that are around me, the people that I can communicate to with words.

      Let’s see, half of the country is religious. So that’s obviously an uphill battle, the other half… oh that would probably be the side that has people like you and the other people downvoting me.

      Gonna go ahead and say it’s an uphill battle on both sides. Imagine actually demanding an entire plan that requires both uniting the country, which includes eradicating white supremacy and the various inequalities in the U.S., and then solving climate change.

      God it’s like half the people here are children.

        My long term solution would be uniting the under 50 vote to add the 28th amendment.

        The 28th amendment needs to eliminate money/donations/bribes/grifts from the election process. It also needs to eliminate any form of augmented monetary enrichment for elected officials.

        Until corruption via monetary gain can be somewhat controlled, we can never achieve a legitimate democracy.

          Sure, absolutely.

          How much time is your plan going to take? Because we’re on a clock.

          There are plenty of conservatives in the under 50 bracket, obviously that will change as more babies are born; but how is your plan going to play out with population replacement rates falling globally?

          I’m not intentionally poking holes, your suggestion is great and it is absolutely a step that needs to be taken. I just think that we’ve entered unfamiliar territory and I fear that old strategies may not be applicable. The conservatives have basically been waging a whisper campaign on the people of the U.S. and we’re seeing the effects of that coming to a head. We will not simply “unite the people under 50”.
