when the Bourgeois electoral system inevitably collapses.
What you guys don't get is that when the electoral system eventually collapses it will be far too late, and any chance of your revolution ever happening will be long gone.
- What do you think a revolution is if not a collapse of the previous system?
  Edit: also, it has already collapsed. That should have been evident in the 2016 primaries.
  
  Just so I understand, you'd rather wait around until the complete collapse of society rather than take five minutes to go vote, is that right? Because what, a democrat might accidently get elected and give you healthcare, but he might get some money from a corporation or something to do it so fuck that, right?
  You understand that if things ever got bad enough for the system to collapse it would not be a communist paradise that arises from the ashes, right?
  I seriously don't understand you people. This is like chopping your whole hand off because your fingernails need trimming.

  You don't actually own anything of value, like a house or a car, I take it.

  Given this response, I'm guessing you read less than a paragraph in to my original response and decided you needed to wield your superior intellect and values and produce a "gotcha" response while not actually understanding what you were reading.

  I own a relatively large house and multiple cars. I have a wife and a dog and a daughter and a granddaughter. I have lots of completely unnecessary consumer goods. Likely I'm more well off than you. Just because I can play and succeed in the capitalist game doesn't mean I don't recognize it for the oppressive system that it is and sympathize with the people that didn't get as lucky as me.
  You so badly want to pounce you have to build a straw man to dislike instead of trying to understand a perspective different from your own. You are a petty person.

  Couldn't think of a witty comeback, huh?

  You obviously don't seem to care about the kind of country they grow up in, since you're too lazy to do the absolute minimum required to prevent them from growing up in a fascist hellhole.

  All I'm saying is that fascism is here, which side are you on? Because if you're just going to sit this one out, then you're on the side of the fascists.
