I mentioned that I voted, and they naturally asked me who I voted for. I said, “De la Cruz. Third party.”

“Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that?”, one of them said, and the whole group looked at me a bit puzzled — so I reiterated, “De la Cruz, a third-party candidate.”

“…Wait, there’s a *THIRD* party?”

    The ruling class chortle themselves to sleep no matter who anyone voted for, the entire game is theirs. You’re not going to legislate away capitalism. The incrementalism promised my entire life has only produced more right wing candidates over time.

    You’re not the opponent of the ruling classes because you vote a certain way in bourgeoise elections. You’re the one grandstanding here, claiming that this voting is so very important. It’s a ceremonial ritual and I’m not gonna offer even a ceremonial vote for a party committing genocide. Eat my ass you smug liberal dork
