Silly to think our votes will ever count again
If the fascists truly believed your votes don't/won't count in the future, they wouldn't be working so hard to take away voting rights.
I think we're dangerously close to a point where voting won't matter, but we're not there yet. Look at the Wisconsin Supreme Court race a few weeks ago. Elon Musk got involved and personally spent more than $25 million to try to buy the race. He was directly paying off voters to vote for the Republican. There was nearly $100 million spent on the race, an overwhelming majority of which was spent by/for the Republican.
Yet the Democrat won with like 10 percentage points more of the vote. She blew the Musk funded fascist out of the water. It wasn't even close.
If voting really didn't matter at all, do you really think that would have been the outcome?
If voting really didn't matter at all, would they be actively trying to strip voting rights away from women right now?
Don't fall for the fascist propaganda. Voting still matters. It's not the only thing that matters. We should all be way more engaged in politics than merely voting. But voting still matters, too.
All good points. I hope you’re right but our civil rights are being stripped very fast
