Democrats brining up abortion and housing prices. Republicans lowering gas prices. It's that time of the year.

Or, running down ballot candidates to actually affect genuine policy change. But no, just run for president to make a small amount of noise and rake in that moron money.

Nah buddy, we always have been and always will advocate for abolition of this idiotic bipartisanship.

You just happen to notice it only when you are begging us to vote for these genocidal neoliberal freaks.

The far-left people actively saying "Don't vote for Dem" making an easier win for Trump are probably the most stupid people of the bunch.

Revolution is not happening anytime soon, meanwhile let's do something with what we have.

Arguably Revolution would be closer with Trump in office…

Not much of an argument to vote for trump but unfortunately probably true.

I'd have a lot more respect if there was a third party candidate running for my district's house seat.

That would mean they're actually trying to build election infrastructure.

I like the sentiment and suggest taking it a step further.

If they aren't starting at the local level then they aren't serious about the national level regardless of when they start discussing the next election.

Jill disappears on November 6th and reappears 3 years and 10 months later. Like clockwork.

The "election cycle"

The long election cycle exists to purposefully reinforce the bipartisan duopoly by forcing candidates to campaign for 6+ months which is way too expensive for anyone that isn't funded by billionaires. "Campaigning" shouldn't take multiple months we all have tv and phones it doesn't take long to tell us what you stand for and for us to make up our minds about that. Other countries don't have this ridiculously long election cycle

Both agree on the point and the proper meme format
