Ah it's voter disenfranchisement season here comes the "don't vote" machine

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Go ahead and vote! I do.

But realize that it's still a fucking show, the Democrats aren't going to clean up the circus.

How about we call it the do something real machine.

Also vote, but please please please understand how little impact that has in most ridings compared to direct action.

Do you know who your reps are now? Are you excited about them? At municipal, state, and federal levels? If not then you need to be making noise until you're provided with better choices.

It's not "don't vote", it's "don't be fooled into high expectations for the Party of Betraying the Left"

People who look like me were murdered for the right to vote. I'm going to exercise it. These don't vote types have to be privileged for things to be the same no matter who is in office.

And why am I getting pickpocketed half a world away... I don't even watch the puppet show...

That's something that yanks can't understand

We despise them because they export their stupidity

All their wars, military and cultural are inflicted on the rest of the world whether we like it or not

Not to mention the fact that the cunts don't seem to understand there's an entire world outside of their little shithole

The amount of people aware enough to know and understand this is so small compared to the rest. The USA has been imperialist since its inception and has done atrocious things that the presidents at the time should have been in chains for green lighting.

Is this more 'both sides the same' nonsense?

Late Stage Capitalism

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
