Just a friendly reminder - Divisions by zero

Lemmy

No single thing alone will fix the world. Voting alone won’t fix it. Throwing a molotov alone won’t fix it.

Voting (in many places, for many people) takes almost no effort. Go do it. But don’t call it a day and think you’ve done everything you can do. Refusing to vote just yields one of the many fronts in this conflict without a fight.

Voting (in many places, for many people) takes almost no effort

The voting apparatus takes immense effort in fact. It takes so much effort that it’s almost all consuming for most nations during the election period and wastes thousands of human-workhours.

I meant the amount of effort it takes for the end user.

If we’re going to talk about higher order levels of effort, then everything gets very expensive very quickly.

When I lived in Little Rock, I stood in line to vote for 4.5 hours. There are a lot of places in the US where they make it as difficult as possible. I couldn’t even count how many people left the line to go back to work before they could vote.
