I'd vote for a literal dog at this point as long as it had competent, non fascist advisors.

Why would they, if they know you'll vote for whoever isn't republican

Good call. Best to not vote so they don't even need to try to win your vote. /s

Why are .ml some of the dumbest people on Lemmy?

Best to not vote so they don't even need to try to win your vote

So you admit that they're openly not trying to win?

Why are .world so often equally dumb to the .ml?

If you know a certain group doesn't vote in large numbers, why would you try to win their vote. If progressives actually voted in primaries or down ballot, Bernie would have won the primary and several other lower politicians would be progressive.

I voted for Bernie, but I actually vote in every election, primary, and fill out the entire ballot. I've had countless arguments with people calling themselves "progressives" that claim not voting is not inaction. The claim by sitting on their ass at home they are sending a message. And in a way they are, just not the message they think.
