There are so many conditions on private sale that this answer is essentially incorrect. The vast majority of Americans live in a state that either requires that private sales go through an FFL (The federal firearm dealer license) or has other background check requirements with failure penalties on the seller severe enough that you'd want to protect yourself by going through an FFL anyway. And private sale across state lines is federally illegal, eg someone in Missouri can't do a private sale to someone from Oregon. And you cannot "speed up" a federal background check with money, the check is not run by the FFL themselves, they're just a trustworthy party that submits your paperwork to the feds. The wait time is entirely dependent on federal backlog and one's law enforcement records.

Agreed, not in the long run. Voting is like stop the bleed on a traumatic injury. It'll keep you alive in the short term so you can get more comprehensive care.

If we restrict the answer to just electoralism, I'd say it's because more people are voting greater evil than lesser evil and OP's image explains why.

It actually does, even considering that. That's just how bad the greater evil party is. There's a lot of space for the lesser evil party in their wake. But yes it does get worse overall either way. That's why while voting is important, you really should be doing something beyond that as well, if you really care. And if you really care enough to do something beyond that, then merely voting should be trivial for you to manage.

No not like that

Seriously though, I think it's important to confront and admit that voting for the lesser evil does legitimize the evil they do, even if the greater evil does it worse. Because critically digesting both that fact alongside the fact that voting for the lesser evil really does result in better outcomes for society is what will actually get the hesitant on board with going and doing it. If you try to dismiss or handwave that fact, you are dismissing and handwaving the very real concerns of the disillusioned non-participants. Acknowledging the dissonance is far better.

I think it's also important to point out that while direct action and social organizing are the most effective things things you can do to change society, they are incredibly time consuming while voting usually takes 5 - 30 minutes. And if you're actually interested in the former, there's little to no excuse to avoid the latter.

Just whatever you do, don't shame people for being disillusioned. That makes people really dig in their heels.

I've literally taken apart my Golf's doors a half dozen times (Various electrical issues and part replacements). Mk5 mind you not mk1/2 like your Jetta probably was, but they are shockingly light. Like 1mm thin sheet metal molded into a reinforcing shape, the latch motor is by far the heaviest thing in there.

Yeah feels like bait. Post something unfunny, tell people who point out it's not funny that they need to lighten up and learn to take a joke. Momentarily replace feelings of emptiness with feelings of smugness and superiority.

I've really had enough of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was hoping we could abandon it after the revolution.

Well it'll be 105F here today, so...

#2 reminds me of like half of pizzacake's stuff. So the nsfw patreon is literally just naked pics of the artist, comic unrelated.

Damn this tweet must sound really smart to a complete fucking idiot.
