One should vote, it simply shouldn't be the end of it.

If you voted Democrat and thought you made your part, wrong. You barely made one shift towards one slightly less terrible group. This is not victory. A part of what you should do, yes. All you should do - not.

    The psyop'd to defeatism think the lesser of two evils is the best they can do. Remind them, it's not. It's still evil.

    Awareness of the totalitarian tacking tip-toe con may help dispel the groupthink affirmation of succumbing to that. One "side" loudly promises one personal freedom cared about while quietly taking two economic freedoms that "side"'s herd don't care about, then the other "side" loudly restores one economic freedom their "side"'s herd care about while quietly taking two personal freedoms that "side"'s herd don't care about, back and forth, stripping you of freedom, keeping you blinded in fear of what the other is going to take from you, divided and conquered. ... But try explaining that in a tweet/tictok sized explanation to those who've had their attention spans crippled.

    Some say it's futile. It's not. Defy that dire prognosis.

    Carry on mendwards. :)

    That's true, but I think neutral voters need to be told to do direct action a lot more than left voters. Everyone I know who does direct action voted Democrat. But I know lots of people who didn't vote and don't do direct action.

    (Or Democrat party too, depending on where the votes are being taken from)

    Until enough people do, and sufficient votes are taken from the purple party, that they lose.

    ... But then, may also need to mend all the lobbying, gerymandering, voter suppression, rigged voting machines, electoral college, etc first/simultaneously.

    Imagine if the people in USA got a system that helped them vote for what they want, not against who they don't want. Imagine... :)

    Nope, you utterly miss the point. First past the post means that Republicans win when the anti-fascist vote is split.

    If you don't like the current candidates of the Democrat party, then go vote in the Democrat primary.

    Imagine if the people in USA got a system that helped them vote for what they want, not against who they don’t want. Imagine… :)

    There is this little thing called "objective reality". First past the post sucks, but it is objective reality. You should try taking it into account, some time.

    Well rest assured, I advocate voting, and warn against doing a "no-vote" as that's equivalent to a vote for "any tyrant will do".

    And I doubt I consume much "right wing media" at all. ... Not sure I used the term as an adjective either... and so that whole line kinda threw me. Multiple ways invalid and unsound.

    I'm not voting for liberal zionists under any circumstances. Your candidates and party suck and deserve to eat shit
