I'm sorry but this is an old tactic in my country. 2 major parties always fighting for power, and the one always ask to vote them because the other party will destroy the country.

And the blame goes to the no voters or the ice-cream voters or the voters that turn their back, not to the party itself or to their voters that did shit when they were in power for many years. Maybe its time to pay attention to what caused the problem and not to the result.

As for the USA, Trump is the outcome of the Democrats acting as Republicans for decades.

Edit: Last sentence is a bit oversimplification of the story, but Democrats had abandoned the working class and the low income people. They acted like moderate Republicans, especially in the economy.

Posts like this are literally driving a wedge into the people who don't want the bus to fall off the cliff, and dividing them.

This has to be a psyop launched by cliff voters, right? They are probably laughing looking at y'all tearing into each other....

This is excellent thanks for sharing

not voting is a valid strategy but only when it's NOT apolitical. That's why many in power want you to either be A or B or apolitical not be neither A or B but still informed and capable.

Another day of pretending that voters gaza concerns wouldn't be the easiest thing in the world to adress. But no not even a speaking spot at the democratic conversation. But please growel more, surely you are bound to be treated with the respect in the future.

Another day, another Pug punching left to cover for ranking democrat mistakes. Do you ever get tired or do they reward you for your allegiance? Perhaps you get left nice little scooby snacks.

Look, I really appreciate the sentiment, but it's time to acknowledge that those non-voters are not "misinformed future allies" any more than the MAGAs are. They are either accelerationists or fundamentally broken logically, and which form their indecision takes makes no difference -they are enemies of progress all the same, and to the extent there is ANY hope for the future, it relies on building a path AROUND them, not WITH them.

At least some of them need to be peeled off, however, considering the raw numbers. If there are no gains at all in votes for the anti-fascist candidate, that just means the fascists would continue winning, indefinitely.

... assuming, of course, elections matter going forward.
