I sure wish more of these people that are all hung up on an issue would vote in the primaries. You know, where you have at least a slim chance of changing things.

This is just not true voting third party or not voting means you are voting third party or not voting. This reasoning is senseless so if I vote Lu Cruz I'm helping Trump, Harris, Stein, etc.. all win no I'm not. No reason to vote for a candidate who will run fascistic policies which Trump and Harris both will. Electoralism is a dead end in broken system built to maintain the status quo.

you're only kidding yourself. the election doesn't give you points for process. it only gives you outcomes. and as things are right now in the US, there are two. you either contribute to outcome 1 or outcome 2. there is no other kind of action.

This violates rule one doesn't it? "Shaming people for voting"

[–] GreenKnight23 3 points 2 months ago (7 children)

oh boy...

  1. they aren't shaming you for voting
  2. they aren't shaming you for supporting a fascist piece of shit
  3. if you feel any shame at all for voting in support of a fascist piece of shit, you should take a day or two to reflect on why you feel shame and ponder on why that shame would exist if you truly believe that a fascist dictatorship is the solution we need.

however they are saying that if people do openly support a fascist dictatorship, that they will remember them and treat them like the fascist pieces of shit they are.

as my old man used to say, "it's not a threat, it's a promise."

I'm just not voting for the people sending unlimited weapons in support of Israels extermination campaign, idk what to tell you bud. I've been complaining to my various democrat reps for literally decades, they're pretty much immovable on the subject of "cut back on the warmongering"
