Aka the difference between pushing voter apathy suppression propaganda online or actually helping.
The voter apathy propaganda is so damn infuriating and comes up around this time every 4 years from folks who refuse to offer any alternatives besides telling people to organize and other nonsense without providing any resources on how to do so.
But Biden directly shoots Gazan children himself so you should throw your vote away on a green party candidate instead. Trust me.
Yeah, Trump will be worse and we should just ignore everything Democrats have accomplished or try to accomplish by lumping them in with the worst of their party while blaming them for everything a Republican has done like the sane non brainwashed person I am. I'm helping! I swear! People do more when they're hopeless!

Honestly the thing people need to do is just call it out for the ludicrousness it is every time. People think it's a popular opinion and it may be in some circles. But don't let it just slide. Make fun of it. Call it out for the propaganda it is. You don't have to be a paid Russian troll to push prop. People here can fall for it just as easily as the people wacthing Fox News.

Politicians love non-voters, one less idiot they need to convince.
The will to fight? I'm treading the line for will to live most of the time.
I wish we could send the religious fanatics to another land and let them set whatever rules they want for themselves. Leave the rest of us alone.
That's how you got America in the first place. The Puritans left England to go to America because they weren't allowed to subjugate the people they wanted to. Colonialism fell out of fashion and now they have nowhere to run except Russia, China and Africa, but those places are filled with foreigners already.

I remember a long while back, maybe even in the W administration, there was an image going around with The United States of Canada as one big happy country to the north, and Jesusland which was basically the American south.
I can’t believe how much MORE sense it makes now.
Ye, send them to somewhere in the middle ea.. oh wait.

Therapy helps
I shouldn't need therapy to decide on some BS that other people argue about.

Fuck me, that's so true
Try to find a reason to act that isn't outrage, that isn't healthy
I don't know any other way about forced birth, racism, book burnings, christofascism, and genocide.
But you're right, I've felt too worn down to do as much as I would have liked.

And as a result you don’t balance them, but rather average them. Most days you’re depressed and nihilistic, but occasionally you manage to find a nice big cup of hate to give you energy to go out and hurt a member of the villain class, er I mean do good in the world. /s
Good job left wing. Glad to see you’re starting to understand the problem.

Right in the feels.
Breaking through the exhausted nihilism to find the secret second layer of righteous outrage
Yeah this actually explains a lot I have been going through.
I’d say the trickiest part is knowing exactly what will happen (in the grand scheme of things, ofc. clairvoyance in the meme sense), then see it happen and having no power to stop it at all.
And seeing all the people around you post-justify every shitty thing that happened through the lens of a mystical ideology of either conservatism or liberalism.
While you’re like: but remember I said this was gonna happen because of x, y and z material conditions?
And you can see their selfs shutdown behind their eyes. And they go back to just repeating their same old talking points and sound bites and “memes”.
