There’s only one way to do that though
Must be a bug. Couldn’t possibly be a feature…
Wouldn’t have to be if they weren’t lazy and only wanted to vote in presidential elections. Uncommitted might as well be code for uninterested. Cuz they’ll go to sleep for four more years after this.
I don’t think you can justifiably blame the voting base without also addressing the issue that the disinfranchisement is the direct result of years of work from both “sides” of politicians on the behalf of the bourgeoisie. Anything short of a revolutionary party targeting transition of our government to a more representively democratic structure with additional parties, viewpoints, and stronger individual representation is just kicking the can.
I absolutely can because I can see numbers. I can see numbers of my own local community. Numbers that show disengagement. Numbers that show that during a presidential election tons more people vote than any other year. Consistently. Numbers that show a city council getting elected by an extremely small voting base in my area because most people can’t be bothered. People always complain about ‘oh we need revolutionary change’ but you can make revolutionary change on your local level and people just don’t bother. Things that affect their day-to-day life are decided all the time by a small number of people who show up.
Cool. So you understand that level of disinfranchisement is driven by politicians, right?.. Or are you that daft that you really think everyone just doesn’t care?
I absolutely think that people don’t care.
You’re so fucking close. Alright, now squeeze those two brain cells together. Let’s make a spark. “Why don’t they care?”. Hint: It’s not laziness.
We don’t endorse Harris, but we don’t want you to vote Trump, and please don’t vote 3rd party.
So… Harris then?
Seems like a way to condemn Harris’ non-committal to addressing the genocide occurring in Gaza and continued arms support whilst in a roundabout way saying vote for Harris.
