If all you’re doing about this is voting you can shut the fuck up about politics tbh. No one’s saying not to vote. I’m saying I’m sick to death of hearing about how hard I should vote from a bunch of people who clearly are otherwise doing fuck all.
Not really. I halfhearted agree that it’s worth taking 5 minutes to go to the polls. I disagree pretty strongly with anyone who makes it their life’s work to nag everyone around them in every conversation every two years as though the democrats are running any candidates worth voting for, when they never do.
The fact you think voting only takes 5 minutes means you live in an area that doesn’t really need the message to get out and vote
In many liberal cities in otherwise conservative states, voting can be really hard. I once had to wait over 2 hours in line. At least the weather was nice for me
Those areas are the ones with lowest turn out, and are expected to be the most impactful in this election
You do realize they’re gonna doctor those votes right? Just like they did two years ago. Voting doesn’t matter when the “government” decided what the numbers were.
When people say shit like this, I have two reactions.
One, nobody doctored votes 2 years ago, that’s simply a lie, no smaller than Trump’s big lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
Two, look at what happened this year to Orban in Hungary. He tilted the electoral system to favor him, spent untold amounts of taxpayer money on campaigning for him, effectively destroyed all media not friendly to him, sabotaged every opposition party, and literally bought votes with cash. Then, he lost by a landslide because people stopped voting for him, and voted for someone else instead.
As hard as it may be to comprehend, Trump and the Republican Party are in power because tens of millions of Americans voted for them. The only way they will go away is people go vote, and vote for someone else. This simple fact doesn’t make all the issues with voter suppression, gerrymandering, and electoral system interference less of a shame, but there is no amount of those things that will keep them in power if people don’t vote for them.
I don’t think he cares. I think he knows, a big Republican sweep in November is already bought and paid for.
It will be if people don’t go out and vote
Every American should vote like their lives depend on it, they just might.
The lives of Pretti/Good depended on it in the last election. Countless others I’m sure.
Are you sure you’ll never be one of the people whose lives depend on Democrats winning control?
Edit: Pretti not Pretty, the for the correction. A hero deserves to have their name properly spelled
Pretti
Obviously those 2 lives are a terrible waste, but how many Americans have to suffer without healthcare ?

“I whole heartedly agree, but I’m going to be super aggressive about it in a way that says and means nothing to anyone that isn’t my own ego.”

Are you already working for an anti democratic effort to quell voting or is this your audition?

So what we should just like, assume we’re cooked and not even try? Thus guaranteeing we’re cooked?
Nah, that ain’t it

No one intelligent enough to figure that out is dumb enough to talk people out of voting D. My guess is you’re here in bad faith.
Vote. Obviously.
Voting ABSOLUTELY matters, especially because things are fucked.
It’s incredibly hard to actually change votes. Much easier to simply spread the idea voting doesn’t matter, via useful idiots
Legit, I think this is how he thinks it works. Throw money at the problem, and people will roll over.
Or else he’ll just nuke San Diego and declare martial law. Either way, nothing is going to change.
