@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 @aho

nevermind that the vote is controlled by the states. red states might fuck around with the vote but they are already red states

so anyone going "MAGA intends to fuck with the vote, waah, therefore they already did and won, waah" are just describing their own spinelessness, not reality

unless there are enough of such spineless complacent fools. then they are practicing self-fulfilling prophecy, not voting, and handing the country to MAGA

@admin @painting_squirrel @bridgeenjoyer @aho

they can send ICE to block polling stations

we show up anyway

the idea MAGA exhibits menace and we just give in and give up is ridiculous

btw, i'm not saying that is your sentiment, i'm just riffing on your comment for those reading out there who are spineless (not you)

ICE at the polls:

1. meek weak americans stay home

2. we fucking shove the goons aside

which scenario is the real left?

which scenario is willing submission to fascism?
