1/3 of them didn’t vote, which is very much a vote in and of itself and don’t dare absolve them by letting them continue their “I didn’t vote for this” narrative. You fucking did the moment you chose not to vote.
Wise words. He also said “I will choose the path that’s clear,” and I feel like none of the people who didn’t vote were paying attention. It’s been pretty clear, to anyone who’s actually paying attention, what’s been going on for a long time now.
Well a whole lotta Ken Bones seem to think the parties need to offer them a pretty, pretty pony.
And then…they’ll still think about voting. If they aren’t washing their hair that day or if there isn’t some compelling reality TV show on or something.
The majority didn’t vote because there are flaws in the voting systems we have. They are disenfranchised, not at fault. I dont blame a poor person for being poor, but I mean, if you want to blame people for being subjugated, thats your prerogative.
Work on shifting USA culture from alienating individualism, which says “I did a thing, so don’t blame me”, to a collectivist understanding that society requires mutuality of action and responsibilities.
If my co-citizens fail to vote, or actively vote against our interests, then that’s on me, to the extent of my abilities to contribute.
In the average Lemmy twat’s view, try to overthrow the government at the cost of your life and possibly your family’s while they pontificate on the internet about Americans not doing enough.
Lol, I remember when yankistanis would ask people on other countries to start a revolution and they’d crowdfund and send them guns and weapons like revolution was flipping a switch.
Isn’t that what they tried to do in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and countless other countries.
Now that they’re the one being buttfucked, oh ones, “my guns staying where it is.”
Get fucked bitches. We’ll crowd fund some lube to send it your way.
Since you so clearly speak for the planet, I’ll remind my fellow citizens that we’re hated because we, average people, apparently told people in other countries to “start a revolution, crowdfunded, and sent them guns”, in your words.
Not that many millions of people would ever remember wanting or doing that, but in your enlightened wisdom, clearly, we should all get fucked. I’ll be sure to tell my family and fellow citizens. They’ll love this compassionate sentiment from a reasonable and balanced international perspective.
Thank you for doing that. Others went above and beyond by canvassing and volunteering too and/or donating. I tried to make an impact by just getting people to vote period. If they needed a ride to the polls I was willing to help. But you at least did something
I’m out in the country (appalachian mountains) so kind of low population density for this, but if I’m ever living back in the city I’ll try and reach out to people.

A great Canadian philosopher once noted, “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice!”

I voted for Harris. What else was I supposed to do?

Me too, man. Stay vigilant.
Im watching to news, ready to do what makes sense. If ICE comes to town, I’m there baby.
If you didn’t donate your life savings to Harris, really, you donated to Trump.
