Vote HARDER! That will for sure work this time!
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” ~ Al Anon (1981)
If I vote harder each election, will justice eventually win?
I’m not certain I understand why the OP would post such a thing - and I won’t dwell on that, but everyone:
Please be sure to vote, in all elections!
> “Please be sure to vote, in all elections!”
Yes, Vote HARDER! That will for sure work this time!
It has never freed us so far, but next time it just might!
Well, feel free to do more, but generally one should start by doing the absolute minimum and work up from there.
I voted for Biden in 2020 because I was concerned that Trump was funding concentration camps, deporting refugees, and threatening a full fascist coup…
…only for Biden to open even more concentration camps, deport even more refugees, and arm a genocidal regime.
What else should I be doing?
Learn civics and engage politically at the local level.
I’m actually very active locally, which has been great for advocating for disabled rights and such, but that doesn’t help remove the genocidal maniac from the White House
It might be hard to fathom, but some people’s principles are not for sale. Censorship trolls and concern troll artists would have great difficulty understanding this.
The votes aren’t really counted fairly either. We live in sham democracies in my opinion.
Yea I’m never sure why so many people are against this sentiment.
You get 1 vote every four years on an election issue which is often a red herring. There is legitimised if not legalised bribery of politicians. Politicians DONT have to be representative. The party can remove the guy you voted for if he actually keeps his promises. The parliament can be filibustered. The politicians don’t have to vote or read legislation. The parliament can be decided by niche whackadoos whenever there is a slim majority which is 90% of the time. Politicians and media are caught daily lying, porpagabdising and manipulating. Geographical Electorates can be manipulated to get whatever result the ruling party wants. The institution can pick and choose which votes they will count. You will be arrested if you exert the real power of the democratic process; protesting. The governemt monopolizes violence against you. Corporations buy their way out of everything. Socialized losses, privitised profits. There is no reasonable alternative beyond throwing your vote away and before you say preferential voting, I live in a country with preferential voting and it just makes things worse.
All representative democracies are sham democracies and that is all of them.
