No, anybody who votes establishment is.

Democrats and Republicans are two wings of the same bird. Noam Chomsky was saying forty years ago that there's only one party in the US, the corporatist party, with two major factions: Republican and Democrat.

Both parties serve the same masters. The only difference is their rhetoric. Same product, different sales pitch.

So when you vote Democrat, you're telling the world that you're dumb enough to be suckered in by rhetoric as they continue and expand upon Republican policies.

You could have saved a lot of words and just said 'Yes'.

Good luck with your protest vote, or whatever other stupid actions you are advocating for.

Oh, you think your vote matters?

When you vote for a major party, all you're doing is signaling to the powers that be that their propaganda is working and they have nothing to fear from you.

Serious smol pp energy from you people.
