From a U.S. perspective, if voting was useless then the GOP wouldn’t have to rely on gerrymandering and removing voters from rolls for arbitrary reasons to get its ghouls elected. Harm reduction via voting is possible! For everything else, there’s ~~Mastercard~~ protesting. But also maybe “Mastercard” in the form of ~~bribes~~ lobbying
Exactly. Some leftists are ignorant about how voting, even in dysfunctional liberal democracies, is the enemy of the unpopular, and that policies that people recognize as favoring the rich are unpopular. It's why they put so much effort into manipulating the media. When people are aware, the rich lose at the ballot box.
That. Your vote is a powerful weapon, and you can tell it is by how hard they work to take it away. And we need to bring all our weapons to bear if we're going to make it through this. That means vote, but it also means don't stop at voting.
Collective voting efforts will slow the fascist push some, enough that sabotage, monkey-wrenching and the destabilization of the GOP might allow some efforts to re-empower the public to happen... or at least drive the MAGAs to start the civil war prematurely, putting them again on the side against the state.
Voting is important, but it's not the force for change we were promised it was.
For that we will have to expose the rich enough that everyone knows how tasty they are.
Oh and remember what the French did whenever the monarchists started rolling back civil rights.
Voting is a great force for change...
When you're not split 50/50 with fascists. And other people that hate democracy.
Wouldn't the 'vore' usage imply someone also having an orgasm during this?
Don't kink-shame
Hey, if all the capitalists were eaten, I’d get off on it.
Too bad this site is too niche to have it's own vore_irl

There are so many issues with cannibalism, Creutzfeldt-Jacobs and Kuru being two of them
