Really, this template replaced with almost everything I have ever experienced is an accurate summary of my life 😆

The only way to keep a politician honest is to press them into a corner so small that they can hardly breathe. Or make it easier to do the right thing than the wrong, but you’re competing with trillions of dollars on that one
Fuckers deserve the wall just like their buddies in the big dumb house.
You know, your image has kinda been my response to life, i.e. stubborn refusal to stay completely down, but in this specific instance there is a compelling argument against voting.
No politician can be reformist. It’s a job that requires subservience to the status quo. After all “If voting changed anything they’d make it illegal.”
No politician can be reformist.
Hmm…I agree with everything that comes after this.
When I say “reformist”, I really mean someone who advocates small, gradual changes to society, in opposition to revolutionary changes. So most anarchists support revolution and are not reformists.
I know. I deliberately chose to use a different scale for the word to make a point. By that I mean reformist/traditionalist instead of reformist/revolutionary. Using reformist for anyone who wants to change(reform) society.
I do this quite a lot. deliberately misinterpret the point to point out the fuzziness of terms. I should probably remember to point that out whenever I do it.
But aren’t they making it harder to vote exactly what is happening?
The quote is in the context of socialist/anarchist ideas. If you are referring to the USian right then they are doing it because they are fascist who want to remain in power. and they’ve been making voting harder for a long time now in order to disenfranchise voters and get in power. From my anarchist point of view both neo-liberal democracy and fascism are the status-quo.
