    Well I’m down with that. Voting does not preclude you from doing other things.

    I’m touchy from all of my time on Reddit leading up to elections. SHITLOADS of comments and posts seemingly suggesting that we shouldn’t even bother voting.

      Yeah from what I see they normally meet every “go vote” with “voting isn’t the best way to do this”, but forget to include a “however, it’s the only real way short of a full revolution to prevent the worse”

        It will - ifanything - only delay the worst and will draw attention away from building towards a revolution.

      Look at OP’s posting history, and they are one of them.

        You got me. My 7 month account is the reason Hillary lost to Trump. It was me. And when Trump wins in 10 months, or Tucker Carlson in ‘28, or Nick Fuentes in ‘32, also me. I’m the reason.

          Do you not see how saying “Voting doesn’t work” might encourage people to not vote, or do you think pointing at nebulous solutions with no defined call-to-action generates community participation?

          Put a link to an organization that you think will help, and ask them if they think voting does nothing.

            That wasn’t the point of the meme. But to assuage criticism of depressing the vote, I hereby endorse Claudia De la Cruz for President.

              I did vote, and will vote Joe Biden again. And my wife and daughter’s lives got more dangerous too. But that will not be enough to stop the fascism that’s here. The Republicans will continue to consolidate power and they will win more elections. Voting will never be enough.

              Which is it?

                Well, now I’m not voting just to spite you.;(
