busy working? nah

2018-05-14 05:03:33 UTC  

Betrayed by the system? Perhaps

2018-05-14 05:04:13 UTC  

But they did get a chance to vote for a 3rd party. Maybe if that 50% gained up on Trump and Clinton they actually could have elected a 3rd party

2018-05-14 05:04:39 UTC  

Would a third party be any different.?

2018-05-14 05:05:03 UTC  

depends what you're talking about

2018-05-14 05:05:04 UTC  

The Libertarians are the next biggest ones and they are of the same caliber as the Republicans.

2018-05-14 05:05:27 UTC  

I mean there are left libertarians, not as much tho

2018-05-14 05:06:10 UTC  

Russia's elections happen on a sunday when all work is out and no one is busy.

2018-05-14 05:06:29 UTC  

America's on work days.

2018-05-14 05:06:37 UTC  

yeh but its not DURING work

2018-05-14 05:06:42 UTC  

Yes it is.

2018-05-14 05:07:00 UTC  

wym, its at night

2018-05-14 05:07:10 UTC  

unless if you are a loser that works the nightshift at mcdonalds

2018-05-14 05:07:40 UTC  

If it's at night, that is just as bad.

2018-05-14 05:07:56 UTC  

It is during the day though.

2018-05-14 05:08:00 UTC  

Alabamite.

2018-05-14 05:08:59 UTC  

Depends where you were voting I guess? I know the east coast went first at around like 5

2018-05-14 05:09:14 UTC  

actually more like 6

2018-05-14 05:09:15 UTC  

I'm from Alabama.

2018-05-14 05:09:24 UTC  

so when did you vote m8

2018-05-14 05:09:47 UTC  

I didn't personally vote.

2018-05-14 05:10:11 UTC  

I actually heard you could vote 32 days before the actual election

2018-05-14 05:10:16 UTC  

We live right beside the church where you are supposed to anyway so we are hardly under time contraints.

2018-05-14 05:10:56 UTC  

I mean you dont have to vote on actual election day

2018-05-14 05:11:07 UTC  

you can vote like weeks prior

2018-05-14 05:11:16 UTC  

on the weekend too before election day

2018-05-14 05:11:44 UTC  

This would show that people were refusing to vote consciously.

2018-05-14 05:12:23 UTC  

TBH I think a lot of the people that didn't vote didn't even know you could vote prior

2018-05-14 05:12:28 UTC  

but sure call it that

2018-05-14 05:13:13 UTC  

Mate, people aren't going to vote to preserve the system that gave them their problems anyway even if a new face (party) is in power removing hard fought benefits and aiding the rich.

2018-05-14 05:13:50 UTC  

hard fought benefits, like what

2018-05-14 05:15:27 UTC  

Across the world, hard fought benefits by labor movements are under attack now. Labor is weak and the bourgeois state is screeching in glee. The NHS in Britain for example.

2018-05-14 05:16:06 UTC  

I thought we were talking about the US

2018-05-14 05:16:25 UTC  

I am but it isn't isolated to the US.

2018-05-14 05:16:45 UTC  

The conditions which cause political apathy exist throughout the west.

2018-05-14 05:16:59 UTC  

***oh yeah the west is a piece of shit***

2018-05-14 05:17:06 UTC  

***we should all become like China***

2018-05-14 05:17:27 UTC  

The West is in decline, this is an inevitable process that we're in the middle of

2018-05-14 05:17:44 UTC  

I do not think China's system is correct to apply in the conditions of the western powers today.

2018-05-14 05:18:13 UTC  

Mimicry is not a correct political line ever.

2018-05-14 05:18:49 UTC  

Frankly capitalism is the best we can get for the US. The communists, socialists and others that want to change the political and economical system, it aint going to work
