The problem with not voting - lemm.ee

counter-point: Voting for someone that does not represent you because you are more scared of the other guy is indistinguishable, as a signal, from someone that fully supports them. By voting against your own interests you are actively undermining the democratic process.

That’s not how democracy works, like at all

Democracy is about compromise. By definition. Not about demanding exactly what you want and sabotaging the system if you don’t get it. That’s the opposite of democracy.

What if I don’t want to compromise with fascists?

Then you get full fascism

When 40% of the voting population wants fascism those are your options.

If 40% of the voting population wants fascism your democracy is fucked and its time to re-open gulags.

And now 40% of the population + you wants fascism

Just with different people in charge

Fascism isn’t the opposite of voting. Words have meaning. Open an history book once in a while.
I was referring to the gulags comment.
