if our vote didn't matter, why are they taking it away?
i admit i'm terrified
i live in Louisiana, it's clear the minority that hates is in total control & does not want all people to ever, ever, ever have equal access to representation
@peachfront and not voting is simply capitulation to MAGA malice. some people convince themselves they are taking a principled stand by not voting. this is delusional entitlement. to not understand or not admit the stakes and think they have the luxury is some sort of sick mixture of cluelessness and vanity. vanity because they think anyone gives a shit what they think if they don't vote

@benroyce @peachfront entitlement sums it up. it's the mindset of Americans who want all the privileges of living a global superpower but none of the responsibility.
this is at the heart of choosing to be powerless, i.e. refusing to vote: power comes with responsibility, and these people think that by renouncing power they wash their hands of responsibility too. but power doesn't work that way: you have it whether you disavow it or not. refusing to act on a moral imperative doesn't negate either power or responsibility. it means that they used their power for ill.

"It's rigged why vote"
On the contrary people not #voting got us here as much as MAGA
Getting out of this means many things. But voting is a small effort compared to the other efforts so voices against voting are inauthentic or #troll #psyop
#Hungary had as bad or worse manipulations against #democracy, and look what Hungarians delivered
Are you angry? Do you want to fix this?
Well worded.
Spot on.

If we can we'll do it by vote, if not we'll have to do it in the streets. At that point it won't be peaceful protests, It'll be far more violent than what we've see so far. Be Prepared.

nothing will happen in the streets without the vote
if the will of the people is clearly expressed and ignored, that's enough popular anger to do something
if no one votes, no one cares. if no one cares, a few will start something, and be quickly defeated. we might not even know what they were fighting for
there is no revolution without the vote first

well said
and there is no such thing as morality without action. sitting in an ivory tower and judging the world for being insufficient isn't morality. it's just ego masturbation
morality requires action. and all action is imperfect
it's messy in reality. it's always messy
but these toxic idealist idiots won't act until it's perfect?
meaning they are just making excuses to themselves to never act at all, and imagining themselves as moral
they have no morality
-
false
in this world you get a choice between better or worse
that's it
that's your best deal. ever. anywhere
even in revolution, nevermind democracy. is revolution vanguards of ideological purity crushing all opposition?
no. it's the same shit, just more bloodwhat you do is you pick better. you sustain. you iterate
eventually, you get good
if you never even try because perfect isn't on the table, by your absence, aggregate with other toxic idealists like you, malice wins
-
i'm sure posting that made you feel powerful
thanks for lying about who i am, asshole
i'm on your side, and you reject me
you self-select for isolation
you *seek* irrelevancy and alienation
you see people playing the game called reality, and you hate it
regardless of if they represent better or worse?
ok
get that outrage flowing
enjoy yourself
but don't lie to yourself that your way will ever work for anything except tweaking your ego
someday, try to be *effective*

@benroyce Hopefully, gasoline prices, the cost of food, jobs vanishing, all of this mess convinces young folks to flock to the polls and vote. We lost a huge number of left votes in 2024 due to apathy and belief in the both sides are the same argument. We must GOTV and win big in 2026.

@benroyce Unc in the blue coat is conflicted, he's too close to that pension to mess his job up.
