Does. Not. Matter.

They're planning shenanigans, so everyone needs to VOTE no matter what. The American experiment's continuation depends on you voting.

    And even if Republicans losing was guaranteed, the bigger the landslide, the better.

    Bonus: Republicans no longer being able to win elections leaves room for a party left of Democrats.

    Brazil had a margin of millions and that's the only reason they aren't pushing "true leader in exile" shit right now. We need the same, a margin of millions. Everyone has to vote.

    I volunteer with a voter advocacy group, and from our internal analysis that I just saw, Texas Latino early voting is at 2.1 M as of 2 days ago. To put it into perspective, the 2024 presidential election only had 2.0 M. Just one data point to illustrate that turnout is HUGE.

    Awesome, I didn't know we had this kind of power! So who do I vote for to make the America experiment cease to continue? Which candidates are criticizing the oppressive systems of Capitalism our society is built around?

    Oh, none? Nobody? Not a soul? So you meant if we want to continue doing unlimited genocides and unfettered imperialism in the global south, we have to vote. Got it. My bad. I'll never vote again. Thanks for the lesson.

    PLEASE DON'T VOTE. PLEEEEEASE. If Republicans don't win then daddy Putin and dear leader Pooh Bear won't get more power and I won't get paid to try and get you not to vote! I don't care about Palestinian children or Ukraine or trans people. I just want fascists to win so please don't vote!!

    Translated from .ml loser code speech

    It's hilarious you think that by voting for a genocider you're supporting Palestinian childen. You know, the children that Democrats and Republicans have both been relentless in their support of bombing. Brilliant.

    There is nothing transphobic about criticizing capitalism and everything transphobic about ignoring it. Socialists defeated fascists in WW2.

    The only thing you got even remotely accurate is that I don't support Ukraine.

    gtfo with the accelerationism. Democrats also serve the capitalist state which has committed numerous atrocities in the name of profits, but they're way better for the common worker than the alternative.

    Bozo.

    That's rich coming from an .ml user. You complain about "oppression" while simultaneously licking the boots of authoritarian oppressors (also denying genocide).

    Shut the fuck up, you fucking hypocrite. Bootlickers are not welcome outside of .ml. Go back to your hole.

    Imagine seeing the party thats core values are racism and christian nationalism and thinking "I, Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy, a brown-skinned Hindu man, am going to throw my lot in with these guys, and trust their voters to back me."

    You have fallen for their fake. Their core values are protect the rich and get richer. They use racism and christian nationalism to get the power to keep doing it. It's not like donny boy is taking care of the old white guys and gals who voted for him. Everyone who isn't wealthy is beneath him.

    Is it still called a rally if it's like 20 people? Seems more like a huddle sort of situation

    We have a larger turnout at our weekly protests, in a town of <10,000.

    Because many of them never grew beyond the age of 8 and they will not have anyone else telling that they cannot eat whatever they want. The only fibre they will ever touch is the fibre in the wood of the coffins from their early grave indiiced by nonstop beer and hot dogs.

    Looks like a damn staff meeting, except without those large foil trays of penne with marinara and that weird vegan mac n cheese

    I did at one of my jobs. It was pretty nice until some drama happened which forced me to put in my notice

    I was also very cringe, obnoxious, too open about my autism, and overall just not a very focused or productive employee, so it was probably a good idea to escape my unflattering reputation anyway

    Plus I had really embarrassing bits that I was too committed to, like going "aaah a bear" at random coworkers, the joke being "I have a rare disease that makes me think people are grizzly bears" like geez it was funny maybe one time...

    All in all, it was my first ever job and I seriously took it for granted. Wish I'd never referred that person to my workplace. The one who ruined it all and screwed me over. But that's a story for another time

    I don't know if this is real or not, but I'll assume it's real because it backs up my often repeated point.

    They don't need "grass roots" any longer, they'd rather have one billionaire donor than 10 million people who work at Arby's
