Everyone:
No shit.
Then vote.
Everyone:
I know that I and people around me will be actively working to keep Trump out of office. That means kicking in money and volunteer time if you can. If you have the means, consider a fall trip to help out in a swing state or a swing congressional district.
Or specifically for lemmy:
Sad to say this, but it looks like Lemmy is more vulnerable to bots than Reddit. I guess there are more spread out communities over multiple servers and less moderators. The comments with negative votes are still being displayed without being collapsed or removed.
No one here is proclaiming that..
Plz take that back to REddit where you found it.
Do you know how hard Republicans make it to vote in the districts that matter? Your glib comment suggests you don't.
I'm quite well aware. The supreme Court says the way to fix that is to vote them out. Not much else to do.
Well, except for all the tactics the Supreme Court doesn't approve of.
Great motivation to vote. They might have a shitty idea of what competent leadership looks like, but at least Republicans fight for their rights when they think someone is trying to take them away.
Keep pretending that voting doesn't matter and it'll eventually come true, and much sooner than you can imagine. People have literally died by the millions to achieve the democracy we take for granted. But it's not granted, it's earned by societies who remain vigilant and actively defend it.
Who is doing this? Certainly not me. Thanks for the lecture though.
Not talking to you, talking to any potential non-voters who might read your comment and think "true, it's the politicians fault, not mine"
If I need to look like an asshole lecturer with a stick up my ass for the next 10 months then so be it, I want my kids to live in a democracy like I did.
How's voting working out for the Puerto Ricans? the Cherokee? Creek?, Sioux? Iraqis? El Salvadorians?
whether you vote for Drone'Bomba's war mongering fascist or Putin's war mongering fascist... doesn't matter to the people you enslave.
like chickens coming home to roost, all that evil shit the USA has been doing is coming around and you ALL deserve it.
What country are you from?
So edgy, bro.
Right?
So, like, do something then??
