Welcome to all not wanting to vote, not able to vote or just annoyed by the US presidential election taking over Lemmy and other social media.
Coming here to argue about voting will result in a ban.
Be kind to each other & follow the server rules.

Have you checked with the Iranians on this? Or seen what some of the leaders of the “uncommitted” movement feel about it, or for that matter the Ukrainians?
They can't vote too, so why would you care? They're just abstract people for you to moralize about. The Iranians and Ukrainians I know are anti-imperialist while being opposed to their own governments.
Oh, interesting. Very interesting.
The Iranians you know have no particular feeling about Trump? That’s very interesting. Do you want to check with them again? Maybe ask them specifically about him, if it hasn’t come up in conversation with them maybe?
Oh you mean the Iranian anarchists? Yeah they hate trump, but they hate voting more. Yeah I've checked in with them.
Yeah, every time I talk with anarchists in the global south, that's exactly what they say. They say, we hate that people in the United States vote. It's the worst thing in the world. All their flyers talk about it, all their lectures touch on it. I'm surprised that stance doesn't get more publicity. I mean, if they were able to get fewer people in the US to vote, all of a sudden things would get better for them. Clearly.
Really proud that you're voting for genocide huh? Real proud. If I were voting for Harris, I'd feel nothing but shame because there was nothing else I could do. You made your choice to be proud of her program of genocide.
