    Whoa, you're telling me someone whose goal is the total destruction of US political and economic systems doesn't think we should vote?

    you say that like we should uphold the electoral and economic system of an occupying white supremacist genocidal country that maintains slavery and literal concentration camps to this day

    No, I say that like I'm not surprised that someone who thinks the United States should be overthrown doesn't care about participating in its elections. Would love to hear the endgame you have in mind

    Genuinely interested in what you think should happen and how you would get there besides abstaining from voting.

    direct action, mutual aid, dual power. this is really simple stuff im still shocked people genuinely fucking think all they can do is vote and that will solve everything. and yet im called crazy for asking people to actually be involved in their community and make the changes they want to see in the world. such a fucking backward world

    Ok, so I'm trying really hard to understand where you glean anyone here saying that voting is the only thing you should do. I'm a social worker whose full time job is helping people experiencing homelessness in any way I can. Who the fuck are you and what do you do

    thats crazy how you boast about being a social worker helping the unhoused when youre sitting here demeaning an unhoused person recieving services to get on their feet. what people are saying is they think its not a waste of millions to billions of dollars, hundreds to thousands of hours, and innumerable energy exhausted to try and prop up candidates, policies, and all the infrastructure for electoralism that would easily be significantly more effective focused elsewhere. such as fucking taking over abandoned structures to allow people easier access to housing and tearing up asphalt to plant food because systemic food scarcity is already approaching. while yall were wasting your time filling ballots i used my time to plant food and destroy invasive plants

    Hey, everyone, pack it up. It only took them 15 minutes to vote, so everyone else's experience must be just like that. There's no way that voting works differently for other people, in other states, that have different systems.

    Oh hey, welcome to the conversation, and that's not what I said at all. Other bro accused me of "wasting my time voting" when instead they think I should be digging up asphalt. I just wanted to communicate that I had plenty time to both vote and dig up asphalt

    your 15 minute vote was endorsing the hours upon hours spent putting up the things you voted on, the policies that made it to that ballot, the politicians, that got well known enough to get on it, and the people maintaining the voting booths/ballot drop boxes.

    thats a weird way to say you dont care to read about the perspectives of the indigenous wrt the genocidal nation you so desperately want to legitimize

  • Thank you for the article you linked, it's a fascinating read. The mistreatment of indigenous people within the borders of the USA is still on going and I can better understand why many are highly distrustful of government power and structure since it has been arraigned around harming them directly or indirectly since its introduction to North America. Why socialism is not appealing as well because the government as is would weaponize it still against them and likely other marginalized people.

    It's Satans, they're a neoliberal shit poster who believes if you don't vote you shouldn't have your voice heard at all. You won't get through to them, they are sufficiently brainwashed Blue MAGA.

    who believes if you don’t vote you shouldn’t have your voice heard at all.

    If you don't vote you already decided you don't want your voice heard and anyone who uses the term blue maga isn't worth listening to.

    Also I'm liberal but you wouldn't know the difference between that and neoliberal anyways.

    Oh no, you want a little more regulation on an unregulated system that has always required an underclass of people. Such a difference. This is why I hate liberals as well, they're smug in being just as bad.
