Explain again how voting and not voting does the same? I know the first past the post system is horrible, but saying that voting does nothing is disingenuous.

This is false, multiple presidents won more than 51% of the vote and lost. Your elections are decided by election riggers during redistricting. It is called gerrymandering. You live in a corrupt society that uses voting and a circus every few years to mollify you. Even if Kamala won, which was basically impossible based on how the districts were drawn, you'd still live in a capitalist dictatorship that would be every bit as bad as it is now. You would still be causing wars around the world, you would still have homeless people everywhere, and most people would still be living pay check to paycheck while she did absolutely nothing. Kamala Harris is a manager of capitalism, not leader in any sense. You have absolutely no vote or say in the people who run your country, the board members of Goldman Sachs, Chase, Citigroup, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and the rest.

The sad thing is, trump won even the popular vote. And, even with gerrymandering, voting still makes a change, if even a small one.

Also, are you saying trump and kamala are the same lmfao

It's clear that you are completely unaware of the history of the US democratic party as controlled opposition, and how thoroughly evil they are.

Here's what the Biden administration did to Palestine:

Some more on your party:

Yep, the US Democratic party is not good, both parties are basically parties of the rich, but Republicans are so much worse.
