If voting didn’t matter they wouldn’t spend so much money trying to influence your choice. So vote (for a better world).

Good job, tankies. You helped to get a meme president elected to pwn the libs.
That’s exactly what they wanted. It wasn’t an accident.
Why do they want it? Accelerationism?
That's one way to put it. Seems like they just want the West to collapse as justice for, well, most of history. Not that I blame them, on principle, but it's a fairly simplistic view. Collapsing world powers are typically bad business for the world in general.
They think that somehow socialism (whatever that means) will magically emerge once Trump brings about the downfall of the US. That's why they hate the Democrats so much. And of course they hate democracy as a principle because deep down they just want to be part of the ruling class.
it’s not restricted to grad - ye Power tripping bastards blocked me for saying the same damned thing.
Research shows social media advertising suppresses voting in targeted communities
A new study is the first to quantify the effect of this kind of microtargeting on voter turnout.
They specifically target minorities as well.
I made a write-up earlier on YPTB showing how the mods on LSC are overreaching even within the repressive rules they write to stifle criticism – and totally ignoring them themselves.
Oh they know exactly what they’re doing. Late Stage Capitalism is a little slice of .ml’s authoritarian rhetoric right there on .world. And they 100% stand against the concept of free elections and freedom of speech.
I didn't even realize how bad it was until I made comments on a voter suppression thread and then systematically had all of my commenta deleted and THEN argued with by the mod who deleted them in a show of true democratic debate.
After a couple days they just banned me without cause. Think you can still go and see the mod arguing with "comment deleted by moderators"
YPTB banned me for telling people to vote.
That forum is part of a right wing grooming system. It's best to just block them and move on.
Vote in the general election. Vote in primaries. Canvass for primary candidates. Join their campaigns. Attend local council meetings. Run for local office. Organize protests. Organize your workplace. Organize mutual aid in your neighborhood. Radicalize your friends and neighbors. Join a militia. Start a militia. Start a zine. Start a social media page.
You can do all those things. Voting strategically doesn't invalidate all your other efforts, and it takes a couple hours every couple years. There's no reason not to.
More of the bullshit.

For the record, this person was banned as well. That walled garden of theirs must stink like hot ass from all the smug fart-smelling douchebags circle jerking over their beloved authoritarian dickead mods flexing their hypocrisy.
As a communist myself, voting does matter. It shouldn't be the only thing you do, but it's good to slightly slow down fascism while building your revolutionary momentum.
There's been drama all day, let's just make a new community
Holy shit the modlogs are full of them removing everyone that disagrees with them. I think the mods of that community are living their fucking minds! We might be seeing the effects of sociopaths off their meds in real-time.
It definitely feels nostalgic how much intra-lemmy drama exists, reminds me of forum drama.
Me too. We need a subreddit drama community.

There is one but it's not terribly active. Time to be the change we want to see I guess.
I’ve been thinking of making a Late Stage Douchebaggery community to showcase the hypocrisy of their coward mods.
