Do people realize you can go out and vote while recognizing the system is rigged? Like what do you lose from casting a vote?
Hours of your time in areas where voter suppression is in full swing.
That is where it is very worth the time!
My state expanded mail-in voting during the pandemic and it’s so nice to just fill out a ballot at home. The Republicans have been fighting against it and now I have to include a color photocopy of my ID with it due to their fuckery.
I'm probably not going to trust a mail in ballot this year.
Of course there's also danger if only magats use mail in voting, so there's a balance.
Yeah they really do make the effort to ensure you don't vote don't they? I wonder why?
So nothing lose if it is worth it
If only it were only casting the vote. But people chose to do canvasing, helping in electoral campaigns and arguing online that's actually taking away the energy.
Vote, if you want. Pray, if you want. Curse capitalists, if you want. But don't expect it to change anything.
Voting doesn't have to include putting all your faith in the system is my point.
I vote to show it doesn’t help and I haven’t been proven wrong.
But it doesn't hurt is my point
Haha same, if it worked then why do the parties I vote on always lose!?
Literally the only person who I voted for in a primary who won the general election was fucking Fetterman.
'Voting is so dumb. I cast a vote and the thing I wanted to happen didn't happen, that proves it does nothing! "
That's quite a take.
So voting could only matter if yours is the deciding vote. Makes perfect sense.
If it makes you feel better he's at least 3% better the Dr. Oz would have been. What a tucked timeline.
Politicians aren't your friends. Voting is your choice to choose your adversary.
Voting doesn't matter when Israel remains in charge
Happy Votey Day!!
The system is rigged. But sometimes they don't rig it hard enough and usually harm reduction is possible, so it's worth voting anyways. This post is a strawman.
This post is a very realistic reflection of a sentiment I see several times a week
There is bias in what you routinely see. What one person says cannot be taken as an entire group's opinion.
Looks like you may have missed the massive wave of ~~russian bots~~ "leftists" that couldn't get enough of shitting on Harris, democrats, liberals, democracy, or any other aspect of the political landscape other than Jill Stein and the lunatic assertion that third parties could win presidential races. Also that the means of production would soon be seized by the workers, probably any day now.
See elsewhere in this thread for some similar examples.
"If the Super Bowl meant nothing, teams wouldn't try so hard to win it."
Of course the Super Bowl means something ($$$), but not any benefit to your daily life or mine.
I get my healthcare through the ACA (Obama) and I got 30% of my solar PV system paid for by the IRA (Biden), so every single day my daily life benefits from the last two times we had Democratic presidents.
And it only cost laying the groundwork for the current regime. We wouldn't have this without their efforts.

Call me what you will, the facts remain the facts.
