    That’s right. That’s why we need a revolution. And that’s why we pick the shark with fewer teeth until we’re organised enough to do it. You can’t fix the US electoral system by voting. Voting third party isn’t going to save the world. You need to give up on your false hope that your vote is for doing good. Your vote is for delaying the bad. You delay the bad by voting Democrat.

      You don’t delay the bad. Homelessness rose faster under Obama and Biden than bush or trump. Not that the latter two were better in any meaningful way, just the facts as they are. Voting democrat does nothing, voting Republican does nothing. It will always just end up with you worse off. Sometimes, randomly, sooner, sometimes later. If it were as easy as vote Dems to slow down the bad, things wouldn’t have degraded for so many so badly that Trump was considered a good candidate to them.

        If homelessness rose under Obama, why is homelessness lower in 2016 than in 2008? If homelessness didn’t rise under Trump, why is homelessness higher in 2020 than in 2016? Drag thinks somebody lied to you about these figures. Drag thinks you should re-evaluate your understanding of politics.
