OF COURSE Trump supporters are selfish and dumb. That’s what makes them great dupes for evil forces. Trump himself knew this, as he’s famously said.

Someone else summed it up almost a century ago: “It works the same in every country.”

This post is calling out leftists who won't vote, or won't vote in a manner that doesn't help trump.

Classic tactic of accusing your opponent of what you're doing.

I voted party for socialism and liberation and you can too!

They’re running Claudia de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian liberation and an end to arms shipments to israel.

They’re eligible for enough electoral votes to win in an unprecedented landslide!

Even if you can’t protest, door knock, phone bank, picket or boycott, you can still use your vote to tell the two major parties that you won’t accept their genocide.

De La Cruz is a place holder. Nothing more. She’s untested, has no win condition strategy that makes any sense in reality and serves only as a spoiler, and has a barely above zero chance to win.

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS BULLSHIT.

She did nothing the last four years to earn your attention let alone your vote. She has no strategy to make anything she promises actually work because she knows has shown to have little knowledge about how politics work.

DON’T WASTE YOUR VOTES ON THIS NONSENSE.

How about actually listen to Palestinian voices instead of your misplaced savior rubbish? They are the ones asking that we refuse to vote for Kamala.

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 weeks ago

I think when people vote the voice they should listen more is their own voice. Their needs and what's better for them.

Maybe they don't want to be prosecuted for their gender identity or sexuality so their vote for Harris is a survival vote.

That's my opinion as an outsider, at least.

3rd party voting hurts trump more than kamala.

3rd party voting is a good thing

Is it not more like "ALL OF YOU WILL DIE" ?

I mean, Israel seems determined on their genocide.....

[-] NoLifeGaming@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

To keep voting blue/red no matter is how you create the very situation we are in. Punishing politicians is how you get them to work for you and not for themselves and pacs.

[-] Lauchs@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Young voters not voting in primaries is how we got into this situation.

You want politicians who represent you? Gotta vote in primaries! But the elderly, who are a smaller slice of the population, absolutely shit kick the youth in terms of voting in primaries.

Want change? Gotta vote even when it's not trending on social media.

Not voting is not "punishing" anyone, it's simply abdicating your own power. Political parties aren't businesses you can punish by boycotting their products.

Parties represent the views of those who support them by some combination of getting involved, organizing, donating, and most importantly voting in BOTH the primaries (for the one who best represents you) and the general for whoever won the primary even if it wasn't your primary choice. To wield power you have to win elections. To win you have to please those who will vote for you and if your base won't vote for you, you have to turn to the middle and right to get votes. If your base would show up for you, you could safely move left and still win (republicans always show up and vote for the R, so their party has moved more and more right).

Look what happened after Dobbs. Dem candidates used to be afraid to alienate moderates/conservatives by even mentioning abortion because they needed to get some of those voters to win, but when democrats got motivated by Dobbs and actually turned out for Dem candidates, they immediately stood up loudly for abortion rights and other rights as well, once they knew their base would show up for them. If the Dem base would continue to show up, the party would move more left on the issues, since they'd know they can win with their base and don't have to worry about alienating conservatives.
