Black people keep saying it’s systemic, and y’all don’t understand how Black cops could do this? Do you not know what “systemic” means?
@gothamgirlblue Yes we get it. I'm so sorry. The white supremacists get it, too. And by "white supremacists," I mean the entire republican party, and also a lot of white people who don't even bother voting.

@ginamsi there is no party you can vote for to abolish or even limit the power of, the police

please don't do this fucking voting thing again. this ends with boots in the streets and riots, or it doesn't end at all.

@briellebouquet I agree with you about the police. However one party is outright fascist. Are you saying not to vote? Because that's pretty fucking stupid.

@ginamsi @briellebouquet

Fascism or the causes of fascism, you decide!

Voting for less evil is a reasonable course of action. But you're still voting for evil and you don't need to pretend otherwise.

Obediently voting for the least worst option means we end up with no good options. We're all stuck in the same impossible dilemma, no need to waste your energy or anyone else's pretending the dilemma does not exist.

@jocanib Honestly, GROW UP! You sound so ridiculous and naive. Voting is all we have left! Jesus Christ I’m too old for this horseshit.
@ginamsi @jocanib Well, I agree with you, Gina. It’s unfortunate that there are so many people that believe both sides are the same. They’ve given up on democracy and that’s exactly what the fascists want. Either you’re with them or you stand on the sidelines fed up with it all. If you don’t pick a side and then work with the people elected to shape it, you’re aiding and abetting the fascists.

@mswoods @ginamsi

Yes, they definitely have your interests at heart. That's why you have universal healthcare and a liveable minimum wage. Just vote them in and it all happens by magic. How cool is that!

@jocanib @ginamsi There’s nothing magic about democracy. It’s hard work. We have to work harder than big money special interests. If you want easy, don’t vote and accept whatever you get.

@mswoods @ginamsi

Democracy is hard work and also, all you need to do is vote?

You don't appear to have read the conversation you're joining.

@jocanib @mswoods @ginamsi You appear to be mistaking with 'voting is one of your tools' with 'voting is the only thing you should do'. If you don't vote, what exactly do you do to try and improve your society?
