    You demand hand holding and spoon feeding.

    You would never be a useful ally, but I’m sure you will serve the status quo establishment well.

      You are correct. Contrarianism does not require allies.

      Allies are needed for people who have plans of action, something you lack.

        He has concepts of a plan lmao

        Seriously though, fuck the two party system. Vote blue in 2024 and then work to enact ranked choice voting. That’s a start. There are a lot of things we need to change (e.g., gerrymandering, corporate capture, legal bribery, insider trading in Congress) but those things will never happen when both parties maintain the status quo.

        Yes, both parties. Dems play lip service and then don’t do much outside the norm. (To be fair, Republicans don’t even pay lip service.) We need actually progressive Congresspeople/POTUS in Washington, and that’s not happening without abolishing first past the post.

              Let us know when you come up with any. I’m guessing the world won’t be holding its collective breath for you to be of any help.

                If you think a plan for human salvation can fit in a forum comment, I don’t think you should risk any damage holding your breath for long.

                  I see no indication of empathy or compassion from your collective statements. Only contempt and contrarianism and a lot of ego.

                  Human salvation? I don’t believe you have a plan of any length to help anyone, anywhere, save yourself.

                    With armchair psychologists of your caliber available at all hours, how are licensed professionals still in business?

                    Somehow you are able to evaluate total strangers’ capacities for empathy and compassion from a few forum comments, it’s an incredible ability and you deserve whatever size ego you enjoy from it.

                    You haven’t laid out any meaningful or useful plans yet, so do I have to pretend your words still hold meaning by your logic?
