American with two Party system and no real choice trying ro rationalize HM?
go away if you aren’t going to do anything except troll please
Is 196 now a serious comment only community? Didn't notice can you show me where the new rule is stated?
Also since when are satire and trolling the same thing?
Its not like i m trying to derail an argument by saying democrats and reps are equally bad or something like that, I'm pointing out the false dilemma you make with a (in all all honesty kinda edgy) joke. That has nothing to do with trolling.
One could argue your butthurt response tells I have hit a nerve there.
yeah serious comment only, no more jokes sorry 😢
Dude Satire is always politic AND Humor.
I never said 196 is not politicial, you are constructing a strawman here. I asked since when its ONLY SERIOUS, ergo since when jokes/satire/humour are banned.
On the usa-centrism: does this mean you are not allowed to joke 'bout dumb political systems because the majority here is oppressed by said system? I don't see how this matters here
i replied to the wrong comment here, my apologies
Ah Okay, haha no problem. I was quite dazzled someone would so obviously argue against something I never said ^^
we get it america bad. now say sth constructive please
Fight for a real democratic system now? Unionize? Abolish capitalism?
Lots of constructive things to say out there, doesn't mean you can't make a joke about your opressors
P.S: Also raising awareness about a problem (2-party system) is constructive even in a satirical way imho
