"They'll steal the vote"

You'll do #prematureCapitulation and not vote?

"Both sides the same"

You're an idiot fine with MAGA #fascism?

"But my obsessive single issue"

You're fine with destroying #transRights, #womensRights, #immigrantRights, etc in #ToxicIdealism?

#Vote

#Primaries and November

#Democrats suck but we can freeze Trump's agenda

@benroyce will they throw it out, he spends more than 11 days a year there....

@aho

they can't

see people are worried about the erosion of #democracy in the #usa and they are correct

and the solution is we vote *more* and get real leftists in power and close the loopholes

but there is this unfortunate human hopelessness where people just give up (or outright troll #psyop cosplaying left encouraging that)

i don't understand why people don't #vote. they only help #fascism. it's #entitlement: "won't affect me." or cluelessness (it will affect them but they don't know)

@benroyce @aho I don't see why people wouldnt vote. Its downright lazy not to. It takes little effort.

However, the fascists are just going to keep cheating with rigged machines. Then what

@bridgeenjoyer @benroyce @aho
Then they might get caught cheating which might upset even the most apathetic centrist and some of the rubes supporting them enough, that they join protests/revolutions/anything.

If people don't vote, they just win by default, allowing them to keep up an illusion that everything is working as intended and anybody who'd rather look away than get involved can do so without experiencing even the tiniest bit of discomfort.

@painting_squirrel @bridgeenjoyer @benroyce one misconception some people have is the if they register to vote, then they will also added to the jury duty list, but in many states it seems to be enough to get a driving license to be added to the possible jury duty list.

@aho @painting_squirrel @bridgeenjoyer

jury duty is a civic obligation. if someone is put off because they don't want to do jury duty this is a further definition of an entitled loser who is fine with fascism

@benroyce @painting_squirrel @bridgeenjoyer I'm not a believer of jury or bonds, replace the jury with "junior" judges and they know the laws better than someone from the street and why let someone pay to get out of jail (for a while at least), either the court think there is no ground to hold the person or the person should held, not something in between.

but that is a completely different topic...

@aho @painting_squirrel @bridgeenjoyer

you can bribe a judge. and over a lifetime the judge will start making decisions on an agenda rather than the individual merits of an individual case

so, it's not possible for me to disagree with you more, and quite heavily. i think this is a terrible statement you're making. it has to be juries
