I don't give a single solitary fuck how jaded some motherfuckers are - People died so we could vote! Fucking DO IT.
So many goddamn toddlers out here like “weaaah why can’t everything work like magic! Waahh i don’t like the politics! I know everything about government and I pronounce it a dumb stupid thing because i dont like it!” Christ in a bucket we got nazis walking up the goddamn driveway and shitheads in here are all “ewww biden might lose, i demand offers for my partici-“ VOTE you assholes! ffs
This attitude is what is alienating gen Z from voting. You're basically saying "want freedom?? choose exactly who I say!!!". I'm sure you can see how it's bad optics. It plays well in the Lemmy echo chamber, but ffs pay attention to other people.
Note how they did NOT state who to vote for though, so actually, no you are wrong
They just want to agitate for fascism. Below they admit that they don't see Trump as any exceptional threat and that the US is already fascist.
Why they think voting matters at all in a fascist state, I'm not sure, but it's probably completely logically consistent will all of their claims. /s
How do people like this exist
Maybe my claims seem logically inconsistent to you because you are deliberately misrepresenting them to be so.
Weird how you have never once responded to any of the evidence I use to support the idea that the US is already very fascist.
No comment on slavery, concentration camps... here's another one: perpetual war, militarized police, voter suppression?
What word would you use to describe a political system that has legalized slavery embedded in its constitution?
