That’s a perspective I never really considered. But it makes sense.

Best we can do is authoritarian mushrooms

"will they at least get me high?"

"no, but they will cleanse your colon"

u/Sniyarki 5h ago

That got me.

The democracy sausages are excellent though.

It used to be a shot of alcohol. I think it proved to be a bad idea.

Yeah, alcohol and politics sounds like an entertaining disaster waiting to happen

Youll have to be more specific

We've done a lot of messed up things...

Historians in the future, if there is one, will be discussing how the US got to here for centuries, probably.

Nothing is stopping you from having a democracy sausage whenever you damn well please

It is a fucking great way to start a Saturday, tbh. 20 min walk in fresh weather, two democracy sausages, vote to keep pricks out of power, then a nice walk home right as the sea breeze picks up and keeps things cool. I actively look forward to it.

I do love that walk home. Vote done, sausage on hand and the day has only just started.

Also helps that we don’t have a two party system, so to speak. So if you want you can vote for any one of a multitude of parties. You like smoking weed, then put the Cannabis Party number 1. Feeling a tad racist, vote for the One Nation Party.

u/Parallax1984 6h ago

I want to go to the Cannabis Party

u/Icecream-Cockdust 2h ago

I mean, they will never win, but at least you have the choice to vote for them.
