There is a joke among anarchists. It goes, "What's the difference between libertarians and anarchists? The answer, TIME.

I am not certain of all of the details, but getting declared a domestic terrorist pretty much eliminates one’s rights ( ~habeas corpus?). Whatever can be done to non citizens can , therefore, be done to us all.

I agree that voting is performative. But not voting just means that fewer voters determine the outcome. Vote for any party besides the bought off 2.

By voting you rubber stamp your consent to be controlled. That's the entire point of voting is to get you to falsely give up self-determination and internal sovereignty. Slavery by consent, paradoxically. It's a genius MANipulation to get you to agree to your own captivity. Slavery never ended, it was just reframed. One way the U.S. founding fathers are referred to is the "framers" (of the constition and republic). All they really did was simply reframed slavery.

Voting is an ideological choice & a civil right.

It's not an act of violence.

Jesus fucking Christ you're ignorant.

Stop with it is all Trump. They are tooling you. Propaganda is to publicly humiliate you. To lie to you and then you walk around repeating. Where were you during the last 4 years? What about how dangerous Obama was. It’s not Trump. I do not like any of them. However this constant Trump did this no Biden Obama Bush they did it.

A note to the Democrat card carrying members. I believe this started with Obama however it ramped up to what we see today. There is no accountability from the people in the party. Did you ever hear one Democrat stand up against censorship during Covid? No because that was the party line. If you did they would destroy you. Where are you on Agenda 2030? Your party just put into Judicial positions that will enforce censorship like we have never seen. The Twitter files? Look how you hid the truth about Russiagate did any democrat say anything like this is a big fact made up lie? No you all went along with it. Not good.

Trump or whomever wants to censor our speech is a dangerous president.

When the government decides that a 12-year-old rape victim must carry the resultant pregnancy to full term, it's long past time to rein in the system.

Citizens United allows elections to be bought.

Electronic Voting Systems allow Cheating & Fraud.

The US Supreme Court must End Citizens United.

States must return to Paper Ballots.

Mostly agree rather than "like".

Very well written essay. Of course, any educated person knows that the US Constitution is the foundation of the central government and should be adhered to. But it is not. However, groups are forming with the intent of fixing the government. Public engagement is certainly lacking. This is the principle reason that the public derive less and less benefit from government programs. I am 81 years old and seriously disabled so I can’t help out very much. Thank you for your efforts on behalf of the Republic.

The Bill Of Rights & Civil Rights & States Rights are fundamental to The US Constitution.

Of The People, By The People, & For The People.

Congress, The President & The White House, & The Supreme Court all SERVE The People.

We demand accountability in all government employees & elected officials, & an ethical & moral government ideology, purpose, & operation.

89 million Americans don't vote.

Nothing will fundamentally change unless Americans remove those from office & from power, that are unwilling to adhere to the Bill Of Rights & The US Constitution.

Voting is theatre. The candidates, on both sides, are pre-selected. Voting for either establishment-owned parasite is simply a consent to more tyranny.

You're only saying there are both sides, two sides ?

Yes, in the current corrupt & complicit Duopoly Scam system.

Think better.

Independents, Non-Partisan, Democratic Socialists, Libertarians, Green Party, and Non-voters are an overwhelming true majority in the USA.

Yes, Voting is Political Theatre because Democrats and Republicans control every aspect of Elections & Voting in all 50 states & Absentee Voting of overseas military.

Stop voting in Primary elections, especially closed primaries where you are forced to vote for Democrats or Republicans.

Ranked Choice Voting is the better method. Advocate for RCV.

Register to vote as Non-Partisan or Independent & ask your state Legislatures to have Open Primaries with Ranked Choice Voting or run for State Legislature yourself and work to change the system to make it fair & democratic. That will also reduce the money aspect of campaigns.

I am a Green Party voter now going on 18 years.

Every election Green Party has to fight Democrats and Republicans in court just to get our candidates on the elections ballots.

In Nevada, in 2024, The Nevada State Attorney General & a Nevada partisan judge committed fraud, after Green Party collected 40,000 Petition Signatures for Green Party Ballot Access. The signatures were tossed out by a judge that had donated to Democrats.

We all need to consider running for State Legislatures to end the Duopoly Scam of Democrats and Republicans that are corrupt and complicit with the Trump Regime.

Voting can be more than theatre if there is sufficient public engagement and campaign contributions are restricted. If campaign contributions are unlimited and the rich own the main stream media, they can control who Paul candidates will be. Also, the voting machines should not be able to change the vote.

Voting is violence. I don't have the right to control you Steve because you are a sovereign being, as am am I. If I don't have the right to control you, how can I vote another person or group (congressperson or city council for example) the right to exercise control over you, when I never possessed the right to begin with? The logic doesn't work, never has and never will. But, I do understand the point you are making nonetheless.

It's only violence when corruption creates an agency like ICE, that violates civil rights & murders & kidnapping & human trafficking.

Many countries have voting that is transparent and legitimate. We can too. But not with electronic voting systems where fraud has absolutely occurred. Musk & Trump admitted it.

The US Constitution is a government by consent of the governed. We now have a corrupt government and we can withdraw that consent.

That would be Article II Section IV, where the entire White House Administration is removed from power and we now have met every threshold for implementation of Article II Section IV.

Congress must do their job or we elect different people into office.

We have Civil Rights, The Bill Of Rights, & States Voting Rights & States Elections Rights.

We must all participate, not control...

The alternative is tribal warfare. Do want to revert back to that ?

Voting is an act of violence, period. No one has the right to vote someone else as ruler over you, me or anyone else. This "right" never existed and cannot ever exist. You assert the U.S. gov is governing by consent. This is absolutely false. Minority rule or majority rule always violates the rights of everyone, and most of all those who disagree with that minority or majority. Government is predicated on violence and coercion, there is no other principle involved. Government has perpetrated more mass murder, kidnapping and theft than any other organization in the history of planet earth. Modern wars are tribal warfare inflated to industrial scale. Your question about returning to tribal warfare is predicated on the notion that somehow indigenous tribes and other groups of people throughout history were somehow more violent than what we have today - with industrial killing machine called modern military - which is not true. Also, it is predicated on the absence of government automatically defaulting to war & condlict. The fact is, humans survived, cooperating as hunter gatherers for hundreds of thousands of years without wiping out the species. Will there always be some level of conflict, yes of course, but government supersizes conflict to a level that tribes never have resources to match.
