    Yes, it would be helpful. People are less likely to rebel if they think majority supports the government.

      Sorry this is just retarded.

      Don’t vote so when you lose the election you can say there’s no support for the guy that won?

        I don’t think you shouldn’t vote, I just think there is no much use in it because there are both pros and cons that are more or less the same. If everybody voted for lesser of two evils everything would be the same as is now, if nobody voted it would be clear that we have no democracy at least. Either way, our effort should be placed in supporting party candidates, but in building our own communites and self-governing ourselves directly.

          Sorry mate, if you think both parties are more or less the same then I don’t think I can reason with you. Good day.

            Well they are funded by same donors and vote similar laws. They do have different PR strategy but their actions on important issues are always the same.

              A “PR strategy” is not how I would describe installing an autocratic dictator.

                Both parties have autocratic dictator. Biden sidestepped congress to fund genocide in Gaza. Trump is no better of course.
