It's so weird to me how many people accept the binary that's been handed to them. As though the ones that hand you that choice would ever let one of the options be to your advantage.

The meme is literally about not voting for the lesser evil (which is currently the only other actual option in our political system) that in turn means letting the evil win

which is currently the only other actual option in our political system

Premise: false

Isn't it weird how continuing to do the things that got us here, isn't fixing the problems that were created? I wonder why that could be. I guess we'll never know.

What's the answer then?

I'm not sure that you're gonna find "The Answer" that you want on here, but this is my attempt: Vote for someone that isn't the lesser evil. Self Organize on a local level. Fight fascist supporters even when they pretend to be the good guys. Unionize.

I feel like we'd see a lot more progress if these types of comments were higher up in the chain, instead of buried at the end of a conversation. I see a lot of ridiculing people for not knowing this stuff, a la: https://xkcd.com/1053/

I understand it's the ignorant masses' responsibilities to educate themselves. But like, we could all stand to make it easier on one another instead of jumping down each other's throats all the time.

Also this isn't directed at you in particular, just in general. I just liked your response, and I wish more people would give answers like this.
