having zero faith in the standard political process and just leaving it up to the plutocrats to duke it out for control over the channels by which they manufacture consent and then willingly going along with picking the less evil of the two of the them is just not something I can stand behind

I have a friend that is totally tuned out on American politics in general (he's still on that Native American shit where it's all politricks so he doesn't pay attention) and sent me this article just now like "it's all rigged, bro, don't even try. the statisticians already did the math Trump is the favorite" This level of complacency is what's really going to lose the election. https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackjones/2020/02/11/trump-2020-presidential-reelection-odds-improve-following-iowa-caucus-fiasco/#4ec388cade08
