    It was more a statement of fact that an argument.

    No, it was a statement of opinion.

    You are free to shout into the void.

    As are you. And I am just as free to disagree with you, as you are to disagree with me.

    As an anarchist I don’t care if you vote, or who you vote for. it’s your vote.

    Good. Because I am not voting for Harris. Or Trump. I’m proud to be voting third party.

    But you’re not any more virtuous or riteous than the people or groups you’re criticizing.

    Brother, I’ve never claimed to be more virtuous or righteous—only determined to fight for what’s right. My critique isn’t born out of self-righteousness, but out of a burning desire to see justice for the working class and an end to the chains of this corrupt system.

    Serious question. Why did Sanders, an independent, run for the Democratic presidential nomination.

    Sanders ran within the Democratic Party because he knew the harsh reality of our rigged electoral system, where third-party candidates are sidelined and silenced by the duopoly.

    And what happened? His trust in the Democratic Party led to them betraying him and handing the nomination to Hillary Clinton, who then lost. Sanders made a mistake aligning with the Democrats instead of staying true to his independent roots.

      Helping elect Trump is a funny way of achieving that.

        Voting based on fear isn’t progress—it’s surrendering to the same broken system that keeps people like Trump in power.

        If we want real change, we have to challenge the status quo, not just settle for the lesser evil.

        If I really wanted to help Trump, I’d vote for him.
