“As voting closed at 7 pm, turnout stood at 77.8%…”

That’s amazing. Meanwhile, in this dystopian society, that’s the percentage who can’t be bothered to vote.

Here’s to changing that in 2026.

100 days before #Arizona #primates!

@hoare_spitall @JustRobForNow @evoterra

not voting is for morons

Mamdani v Cuomo

Magyar v Orban

HELLLOOOOOO???

@hoare_spitall @JustRobForNow @evoterra

a nonvoter is a fucking moron

100%

always

perfect doesn't exist

you pick the person closest to you and iterate

that is the only way you improve the world

not choosing only means "i don't care"

and if someone doesn't care, considering the issues we are facing today, fuck such a piece of shit

@benroyce @hoare_spitall @JustRobForNow @evoterra

I can see both sides of this argument, because it implies an understanding of politics that billionaires spend billions trying to prevent normies from understanding.

For instance trump being 'anti-war', it was obviously BS, but it was also stronger then any statement made by Kamala on Palestine.

Parties also need to earn votes and not just rely on gaining support for being the least worse option.

@wokerati @hoare_spitall @JustRobForNow @evoterra

it's not true the democrats suck therefore leftists don't vote

the truth is the left doesn't vote, therefore the democrats suck

"i'm going to wait until centrist corporatist assholes magically turn into leftists, then i'll vote" is just a stupid joke

you vote, in the primaries, and replace them

that's the way it works

looking to the democratic establishment as your cue before acting is bullshit. ignore them. replace them

i don't disagree with that but doners also play a large part not only in primary elections, but also the window of political discourse at a national level.

when money speaks louder than the people supposed to represented, may will feel disenchanted.

i'm not just talking about the left, but i do think that the majority of the electorate are leftist even if they don't know it yet.

@wokerati @hoare_spitall @JustRobForNow @evoterra

The problem is you frame it as a reason to give up and not vote

To depend upon an insane impossible signal before voting: centrists magically becoming leftists. You know that's never going to happen

And let them spend billions

Billions were spent on Orban. How did that turn out?

Because people fucking voted

Stop framing problems as a reason to disengage. It's weak and stupid

Our problems are a reason to get angry and fucking vote
