No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

The problem with voting is that you directly support a system that does absolutely nothing for you.
It's like voting for Putin. Doing it only validate the government. That's why it's mandatory to vote in these kind of dictatorships.
Now equating dictatorship with voting for someone you don't want is a stretch, but not a so large one.
This is beyond cynical, bordering on delusional. While you are correct on one small point, that the ruling class doesn't give a shit about the working class, there are policies that do become law that do help working class folks. Biden cancelled billions in student debt when he didn't have to and is implementing a HSR network. Those alone have the power to transform working class mobility and economics.
