To not vote or to vote MAGA, the; outcome will be the same.

And the world will suffer for it.

    People should be reminded to vote.

    People also need to be reminded that the 2 party system is a policy choice made by Republicans and the Democrats. We can be free to vote how we want. We can have no spoiler effect. We can have a race to the top, not a race to the bottom.

    I hope doing things your way works if yall are truly ride or die on First-past-the-post voting. To continue to try the same thing and expecting different results... maybe it could work. The chance isnt 0%, i will admit that. Its gotta work after all.

    This is where I would usually post videos on the flaws of First-past-the-post voting alongside videos going over alternative voting systems with no spoiler effect.

    Those days have passed us by. Good luck everyone.

    Abstaining from voting is just a vote to let others choose for you. It does not exempt you from the system.

    It's more like one group is voting to jump off a cliff and the other to run into an immovable object at full speed.

    But the bus driver supports genocide. The whole bus is rotten. We should let the bus go off the cliff and then build a new bus. I'm sure enough of us will survive the crash to build a better bus afterwards. Many people will die but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

    You ever notice how the 'burn it down' people fall into two camps?

    1. not in the affected area: chicken-hawk types who advocate the sacrifice of others.
    2. in the affected area: I didn't know the leopards of societal collapse, starvation, and violence, would eat my face.

    The comments in here are so fucking cringe. If you're not voting democrat then you're aiding republicans. Full stop. Want to know why women no longer have right to an abortion? Why brown people are getting thrown into camps? It's because of fucking dipshits like you.

    No one is to blame for the Democrats failures except the Democratic establishment that betrayed their progressive wing by suppressing Sanders and pursuing faux bipartisanship at the expense of their principles. If the Democrats want those votes, they should take up some more progressive values. Some of my local Dems even traitorously supported age attestation.

    With that said, I expect to vote Democratic. The establishment Dems in my area are getting eeked out more and more during primary season every year.

    One side started war with iran while other side didn't

    One side destroyed relationship with strongest allies for nothing while other side didn't.

    One side went to war with people on the streets with ICE and lowered recruitment requirements while other side didn't.

    One side gave us Pete Hegseth while otherside didn't.

    One side started tariff war for nothing while other side didn't.

    Both sides same though I guess?

    Don't forget gutting USAID and research funding, including children's cancer research, so they can instead pay for the hired thugs in ICE. Legitimately one of the most shameful things the US has ever done in terms of deaths caused, in the short and long term.

    The dumbest thing is how we still haven't done anything close to what France and other countries are doing to actually make their voice heard. Won't change my mind. Yes, you should go vote. You should also overthrow the government.

    But by not voting I show how apathetic I am and that makes me super cool, and then I go online to brag to everyone about how super cool apathetic I am....wait....am I still apathetic if I go online to brag and fight about it?

    Nobody is saying you cannot demand better from your elected officials.

    But if you sit at home you let fascists win.

    All citizens have three votes. Their political vote, their financial vote (who they give their money to), and their life vote in how they behave, what that vocally support, if they protest, if they support a revolution or not. Every government today is the product of the third type of vote, people fighting in protest and revolution, often mortally to birth that government. It's our job as citizens to vote for the government and world we want.
