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

2018-05-14 05:19:04 UTC  

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

2018-05-14 05:19:14 UTC  

Your frame of mind exists in reformism.

2018-05-14 05:19:36 UTC  

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

2018-05-14 05:19:54 UTC  

well I don't think a revolution is needed

2018-05-14 05:19:56 UTC  

Capitalists in America, workers in China.

2018-05-14 05:20:30 UTC  

frankly we got enough problems

2018-05-14 05:20:35 UTC  

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

2018-05-14 05:21:39 UTC  

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

2018-05-14 05:23:06 UTC  

Our system is modeled on enhancing profit of the bourgeois class.

2018-05-14 05:23:41 UTC  

It is one cause of many of our problems.

2018-05-14 05:23:45 UTC  

Which class should see enhanced profits?

2018-05-14 05:24:28 UTC  

My argument isn't on which class should see their dominance of society form.

2018-05-14 05:24:45 UTC  

Also youre going to have to elaborate on the Venezuela and Chile point

2018-05-14 05:25:00 UTC  

well u 2 have fun, I gotta work on my economy simulator
