    I don’t understand why Hexbears think that voting for Biden means supporting his policies

    We are supposed to have a “representational democracy” where ‘elected’ officials represent the will of the people. Votes are consent. Consent is support. Holding your nose is consent. vote no matter who fear mongering is part of Manufacturing Consent.

    The ruling class doen’t need to give concessions knowing Manufactured Consent methods will keep them in power. They do not care if you consent gleefully or with distain. Consent is consent.

    Voting for Biden or Trump is to maintain consent for the establishment. Voting outside the establishment is a non consent vote. It doesn’t need to win, but a large enough faction where the Winston Smiths 1984 can’t fudge to hide such as the vote.

    They had to cover it. They had to factor it. Maybe not winning the war against…war but it embarassed the establishment. Clearly showing they do not represent us with their actions, and more importantly the World at large there is a reaistance movement to what bullshit our leaders are comitting. That not all amerikkka wants this and it wasn’t just “the Arab population” it was across the board and across demographics.
