        This seems like a bad comparison because doesn’t the roach change the system by providing nutrients via digestion? Like if I eat vegetables my body will work better than if I eat junk food or straight up poison, which would give me the ability to make other meaningful changes rather than dealing with the health consequences. I guess I’m confused or overthinking this or something idk

          The chicken is the system/capitalism. By your analogy the cockroach helps perpetuate the chicken as it’s consumed by it and provides nutriens

    It does feel like a sort of good cop bad cop setup in some ways, but we literally have a candidate openly advocating for fascism, concentration camps, and purging the government, this isn’t shouldn’t even be a choice this election and it shouldn’t be as close as it is.

    If you think the statement “democracy is on the ballot” is a lie, then let’s at least hear what’s in your mind, hmm OP?

    Also a hard pill from the party that hates primaries (and it’s not just this cycle or 2020, the DNC blacklists consultants who work with primary candidates the party hasn’t ordained the winner for forever). Vote for the anointed one, the candidate (chosen by a legitimate primary election) on the other side is going to destroy democracy, which you can tell we cherish by not even trusting our own registered party members to vote for candidates!

      It’s true, the Democrats are not our friends. But at least they’re not trying to actively set the house on fire while we’re in it.

        What fucking house so you live in? Clearly not one with anyone that has ever encountered the US medical system or the nightmare that is the aca.

          At the very least the Dems are making a little twig fire in the middle of the floor but the republicans want to have a gasoline and magnesium fire.

            Ah well in that case you can kill 3 million brown children. Go ahead, you have to do it to save yourself.

          Maybe they aren’t coming from the position of privilege where they could actually afford medical care, so what place do they have to bitch about it other than not having it?

          Boo hoo you have problems with your health insurance. Lots of people aren’t as privileged as you and can’t afford it.

          But sure, go ahead and vote for Trump. He’s been working on his health plan for nearly a decade. It must be great! /s

            The fuck are you saying. Reread and try again or get back to reddit with the rest of your far right Nazi pals that think genocide is necessary for you to continue existing.
