    This is just ignorance and whiny entitlement. Your “fake anti-democratic spectacle” is the hard-won achievement of generations of people who came before you. Boring liberal representative democracy is the exception in world history. Most people in the world have never had the opportunity that you have to influence your government. Not good enough for you? Well then get off your ass and do something to make it better. The very least you can do is vote, because out of two candidates, one is always better than another. If you can’t be bothered to do even that, then I for one don’t care what you have to say about politics.

      if neither one should have power, I’m not voting for either one

      Really? The generations of people who resisted and fought against THIS EXACT STATUS QUO would be proud of these glorified rubberstamping spectacles which only exist to legitimize elite rule?

      Really?

      Boring liberal representative democracy is the exception in world history.

      Really? So the ongoing genocide your “boring liberal representative democracy” is funding is… an exception? The history books says otherwise.

      Most people in the world have never had the opportunity that you have to influence your government.

      Lol! Do I sound like a billionaire parasite to you?

      then I for one don’t care what you have to say about politics.

      What’s the matter, liberal? Is all the cognitive dissonance starting to make you feel queesy?

        No, you sound like an ignorant decadent American college student.

          an ignorant decadent American college student.

          Those Yankee college students staging protests on US campuses are far better at “doing” democracy than all the voting you could do over a lifetime put together.

          Perhaps it’s best that you don’t try to flex about something you don’t seem to know too much about, okay?
