Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Let's change the language a bit: voting is every citizens' civic duty.

Whether we have a favorite candidate or not, the duty is still to show up, just as it's a candidate's duty to present their campaign platform. Both sides have to show up in order for the plane to get off the ground.

In this case, the plane sits on the tarmac, a smoking ruin.
