No this is moronic. Go vote!

Wow, you’re so smart. Instead of participating in democracy I should just stay home and post smugly on the internet. That’ll make the revolution happen.

This is, by far, the most downvoted comment I have seen in three years on lemmy. You win... something? Best at being the worst?

I said this elsewhere but I'll repeat it for you.

If you're unwilling to commit tax crimes to prevent your money from funding full blown fascism, then the absolute least you can do is vote against the full blown fascists spending that money.

Write your own name into the ballot if you want to be a dumbass about it, but at the very least that would be a better protest than sitting on your hands while yelling at people how effective your hand sitting is.

The very informative and educational responses here worked! I'm voting Republican.

You didn’t need to add that edit, we knew that you were voting republican from your both sides posting

If the worst you can do by voting is nothing, you should probably still do it.

I doubt billionaires would spend the amount they spend on elections if they didn’t have the capacity to do anything.

This has to be satire. Otherwise, I'm glad it only took getting roasted in comments on Lemmy to completely change your edgy view about the merits of voting. Since you're gonna be voting after all, I guess you want to live in blissful ignorance again.

I particularly like how your last two lines work so well together.

Our modern society exists from the "rape" of honest human beings. I'm not going to vote to continue that.

Edit: [...] I'm voting Republican.

Say it with me, diversity of tactics. You will achieve nothing by simply NOT voting either

Wannabe anarchist throws grenade believing it's a laser pointer.

Never in my life have I ever encountered such intentional stupidity. I pray to never encounter such again.

Respectfully.

Fuck.

Off.

Funny how creatures like this always come crawling out from whatever festering pile of putrefaction they were hiding under, wherever anyone mentions voting. Almost as if there was some kind of coordination happening there.

Thanks for the user block recommendation. It's nice when y'all make comments this fucking dumb that I don't even need to think if it's worth seeing anything else you have to say.

You fucking Americans get the government you deserve. Unfortunately, so do the rest of us.

Don't worry buddy, we all figured out you were a shill from sentence one.

AI:dr - "Don't vote and don't try to encourage others to vote"

Haha, good one.

...oh, wait, you were being serious? How unfortunate it is for you to be you.
