We all have a little bit of power to influence all kinds of stuff including US elections… If our votes were not counted very rich people would not be wasting billions just to annoy people with too many political commercials.

The power (such as to end capitalism, not to control others) comes from influencing people and making more comrades which Hexbear is awful at.

The outcome of most states (in fact most counties, most precincts) is already known and condidered locked. If you live in most of the country and your vote is counter to that, what power does your vote have?

There’s a lot of assumptions here. US presidential elections are multi billion dollar businesses. Political campaigns are a way for people to mske money. Rich people do waste billions on them. They are as grifted as anyone else, when it comes to this hollow polical system.

making more comrades which Hexbear is awful at

Seems to be a lot of comrades around here, and we’ve attracted a lot more since federation began. We’re a non-sectarian space, but it is true that we aren’t trying to be welcoming to s because they aren’t comrades at all and will not be unless they abandon their liberalism

An insulting people is your method to get them to abandon liberalism? Doesn’t seem very effective to me but if you say it’s working, good for y’all.
