    Once every two years is enough.

    No. In a democracy, it should not be “enough” to partake in elections once every two years.

    Let’s get our collective heads out of the Middle Ages peasant mindset.

    At least the peasants rebelled every once in a while when the lords fucked them over too much.

      What do you think the anti-war protests, BLM marches, and Palestinian rights sit-ins were about?

      Can’t count the times a popular movement erupts onto the streets and a Democratic Mayor or Governor starts ringing the big “Call in the SWAT teams!” alarm bell to snuff it out.

      When you say once in a while, are you meaning once every few hundred years? If so then I agree and think we are perfectly on track.

      Okay, get your guns! If I remember correctly from Project 2025, Trump wants to dispatch the military on the streets to stop the people from revolting against the christofascist dystopia he and his friends want to impose on others. Maybe you can be just like in the FPS games, and survive from health, weapon, and ammunition drops from the soldiers.

        If your military is already so far gone that it will gun down protestors without remorse… why do you want to keep that system alive, again?
