Refusing to vote in a way that steers us away from the worst imaginable disaster is totally a fix though! /s
Just look where we are today. Sure glad we dodged that bullet of Kamala Harris!!! /s
If your "choices" are stage three stomach and stage four lung cancer, you shouldn't choose a cancer. You should start chemotherapy.
All US elites and the political system are cancer. You need to fundamentally change the political system and both cancers are fighting it right now. The lung cancer and the stomach cancer aren't enemies of each other. They are metastasis of the same disease.
wat
You know, you dont have to keep playing the game of the dealer that is stacked against you. If the game only lets you loose, you need to toss over the table.
You don't have to stop playing the game to work to change the game/dealer. You could vote for harm reduction and try to overthrow the government at the same time. Hedge your bets.
No no, ten minutes to fill in a mail-in ballot will critically damage their extensive efforts towards Revolution(tm).
Boy there's a "b b b b both sides same!" if I ever saw one. Unreal.
This is actually a good metaphor if you swap out "chemotherapy" with "essential oils and clean eating".
"essential oils and clean eating" = arguing online and calling politicians
"Chemotherapy" = actual revolution
No noo noooo, stay online, keep posting, keep complaining about "the left" and whoever that may include. If we shame enough people on lemmy finally we can shift the narrative and get our no matter who blue in to, idk, reduce funding on ice to half of the new inflated Trump budget.
Just whatever you do, don't do anything outside!!
Voting for Jill Stein is the real true political revolution!!!!! Totally in no way helping republicans!
Voting isn't all you can do, and we're here now. If all you're doing is yelling about an election from half a year ago and don't organize, your just as performative as the people you trash talk.
Voting/not voting is what cost us our democracy so I don't want to hear that I'm not allowed to say that
You're allowed to be as performative as you want.
Pfft like your comments here are anything but
I am not saying it is. I am saying if one's only political action is only commenting online and voting ever 2 years, they are performative.
Voting for third parties = "jacking off and wanting to be blown for it while everyone who voted for a democrat be scorned forever more"
Voting for Jill Stein is the real true political revolution!!!!! Totally in no way helping republicans!
