America's on work days.

yeh but its not DURING work

Yes it is.

wym, its at night

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

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

It is during the day though.

Alabamite.

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

actually more like 6

I'm from Alabama.

so when did you vote m8

I didn't personally vote.

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

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

I mean you dont have to vote on actual election day

you can vote like weeks prior

on the weekend too before election day

This would show that people were refusing to vote consciously.

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

but sure call it that

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.

hard fought benefits, like what

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.

I thought we were talking about the US

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

The conditions which cause political apathy exist throughout the west.

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

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

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

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

Mimicry is not a correct political line ever.

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

And those were the kinds of people that didn't vote for the election

Your frame of mind exists in reformism.

The ruling class will never let free its grip of the state without a fight.

well I don't think a revolution is needed

Capitalists in America, workers in China.

frankly we got enough problems

Neither will let loose their grip and allow their dominance to be destroyed by a few reforms.

The reaction Capitalism had to reformist Socialism is clearly apparent in different ways for both Venezuela and Chile.
