Looks like what Pink Floyd said now applies to the USA as well.

Serious question as to me it would mean the majority (supposedly how elections are won) would be non voters therefore in my mind a new system would need to be proposed
if this current system has to continue then proportional representation is my own choice (i still would not vote) that seems fairer to me, so whatever the percentage split of the vote then the gooberment of said nation is made up of people from that politicial party, make these idiots work together as then laws would be made from day 1 with multiple points of view (you know like real society that we live in) instead of 1 party all spewing the same lies in tandem
just stop voting or bring back guy fawkes both could work....thats sarcasm mr starmer

Can you explain exactly what that would do?
Most elections now are decided by less than half the elegible voters actually voting. Even less voting will make no difference. Only those upset enough to actually go vote do so. Funny how most don't even bother.
I know too much and question everything.
Does anyone know the minimum safe distance of ignorance?
Did anyone ask the monkeys how much fun the barrel actually was?

I see several saying build back better is a bad idea. That is strange because they wanted it only a short time ago.

It is painfully apparent that our system, created for and by Western Europeans, cannot function in a multicultural society. This is not a racist statement, just admitting that this great political experiment has obviously failed.
It is far too corrupt and bloated to save the current system, and if we want the original system as intended, we need to start over and do it in a way that will survive corruption. Level what we have and rebuild, it is the only way left. It doesn't have to be entirely populated by the white race, just functional in the way it was intended to function.
I refuse to cooperate in a criminal system that lies, cheats, steals, and represses our personal freedoms. I encourage a rebellious nature by living the way the Founding Fathers intended.
If you can justify your actions and way of life based on the founding documents and Western values, then you can ignore the PTB and the fantasies they feed you to try to keep you passive and under their control. Even with corruption ruling form the darkest recesses of Hell, I'd at least have respect for their evil if they laid it all out in the open. I might even join the legions of demons and help with their evil plans if they were honest about what was really going on. If we can't beat them, then at least we should have an opportunity to understand and honestly make an informed choice.
Bottom line is, nothing can move forward without knowing what in the Hell is actually going on with our country. If criminal behavior, corruption and bribes are what we actually are working with, then in order to get things done, we have to operate in the same manner. No one can work with a system that no longer is being used, and if this is how things are done in the U.S.A., then that is how it is.

Why people don't vote
Cynicism - they've smelled the BS and know their vote probably won't count
Apathy - they've smelled the BS and know all politicians are the same so why bother
Exhaustion - they live in a slave-nation where they have to work 12hr+ days just to make ends meet and are too knackered to do much else
Why people do vote
Cynicism - They know voting for their buddy will see them right
Apathy - they are afraid of change, so plod on regardless
Romanticism - they remember emancipation had to be fought for and believe the adage "use it or loose it"
Emma Goldman - "If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal"
George Carling - "if voting changed anything, it would be illegal"
Ken Livingstone - "If voting changed anything, they'd abolish it"

Give them a reason to vote, and they will.

That's a lie. Most of humanity is selfish and self-serving.
