These people are not trying to get Trump in. They’re not voting for Trump. It isn’t fair to say that they are Trump supporters. Trump is going to win because the system is horribly designed. Because they had no voice anyway. 1/10 https://twitter.com/sethgs/status/1247962546658660352">https://twitter.com/sethgs/st...

Functionally we really only have two options. It shouldn’t work that way. That is just a horrible situation. However, can we please stop pretending that that is not the case. It’s not Stockholm syndrome to say that this system is horribly designed to screw us over. 2/10
The electoral college, and a bunch of other nonsense traps us in the situation. Biden is going to be the nominee. Not enough people will vote for him. Trump is going to win again. Because the system sucks. 3/10
I keep seeing the same people that hate the system how currently works act like it’s possible to beat Trump some other way. I don’t get why they don’t understand that it isn’t, and that is by design. It’s terrible, but it’s built into the system itself. 4/10
Yes I know previous two party systems have been broken, but they were replaced with other two party systems. Not only that, but likely that would still mean at least four more years of Trump. Systematically there is no way out. 5/10
I don’t understand this mix of hatred for the system, and faith in it. There is no way to vote our way out of what we’ve been put into. We get one terrible president or another. Want to change that. We need to do something else. 6/10
I know he’s incompetent. I know he’s screwing over the American people. He didn’t win the majority last time. He didn’t even win the plurality last time. He won the electoral college. He will again. You want him to lose? Find a way to dissolve the US government. 7/10
Because seriously that is the only way he is losing at this point. There is no unified resistance against Trump. For both logical reasons, and completely nonsense reasons. That is the case. We’re stuck by malicious/incompetent design, and we need to make a way out. 8/10
How do we do that? I don’t know. I’m a pacifist. I don’t want to kill anyone. Maybe we all just stop doing what the government says. Just stop paying taxes and everything. Largest instance of civil disobedience in history. 9/10
Look I’m not even really proposing anything. I’m just pointing out what I thought was obvious. Am I completely off base or something? The system was maliciously/incompetent we designed, and that’s completely screwed us here. Am I wrong? 10/10
I keep going back-and-forth in my head whether or not to post this. I just hope people read the whole thing. Instead of just reacting to one part of it. I’m not even taking one side or the other. I’m expecting attacks from all of over.
Then again this thread just might get lost in the void.
if it doesn’t sorry for any typos I don’t catch.
