[–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago (5 children) Sorry this is just retarded. Don't vote so when you lose the election you can say there's no support for the guy that won? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] olivebranch@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago (4 children) I don't think you shouldn't vote, I just think there is no much use in it because there are both pros and cons that are more or less the same. If everybody voted for lesser of two evils everything would be the same as is now, if nobody voted it would be clear that we have no democracy at least. Either way, our effort should be placed in supporting party candidates, but in building our own communites and self-governing ourselves directly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago (3 children) Sorry mate, if you think both parties are more or less the same then I don't think I can reason with you.
