    #Tennessee removes its #black #US House district in #Memphis

    #MAGA goons celebrate

    "It's rigged why vote"

    On the contrary people not #voting got us here as much as MAGA

    Getting out of this means many things. But voting is a small effort compared to the other efforts so voices against voting are inauthentic or #troll #psyop

    #Hungary had as bad or worse manipulations against #democracy, and look what Hungarians delivered

    Are you angry? Do you want to fix this?

      @peachfront and not voting is simply capitulation to MAGA malice. some people convince themselves they are taking a principled stand by not voting. this is delusional entitlement. to not understand or not admit the stakes and think they have the luxury is some sort of sick mixture of cluelessness and vanity. vanity because they think anyone gives a shit what they think if they don't vote

          @benroyce @peachfront entitlement sums it up. it's the mindset of Americans who want all the privileges of living a global superpower but none of the responsibility.

          this is at the heart of choosing to be powerless, i.e. refusing to vote: power comes with responsibility, and these people think that by renouncing power they wash their hands of responsibility too. but power doesn't work that way: you have it whether you disavow it or not. refusing to act on a moral imperative doesn't negate either power or responsibility. it means that they used their power for ill.

                If we can we'll do it by vote, if not we'll have to do it in the streets. At that point it won't be peaceful protests, It'll be far more violent than what we've see so far. Be Prepared.

                  @A_Minion

                  nothing will happen in the streets without the vote

                  if the will of the people is clearly expressed and ignored, that's enough popular anger to do something

                  if no one votes, no one cares. if no one cares, a few will start something, and be quickly defeated. we might not even know what they were fighting for

                  there is no revolution without the vote first

                    well said

                    and there is no such thing as morality without action. sitting in an ivory tower and judging the world for being insufficient isn't morality. it's just ego masturbation

                    morality requires action. and all action is imperfect

                    it's messy in reality. it's always messy

                    but these toxic idealist idiots won't act until it's perfect?

                    meaning they are just making excuses to themselves to never act at all, and imagining themselves as moral

                    they have no morality

                        what you do is you pick better. you sustain. you iterate

                        eventually, you get good

                            i'm sure posting that made you feel powerful

                            thanks for lying about who i am, asshole

                            i'm on your side, and you reject me

                            you self-select for isolation

                            you *seek* irrelevancy and alienation

                            you see people playing the game called reality, and you hate it

                            regardless of if they represent better or worse?

                            ok

                            get that outrage flowing

                            enjoy yourself

                            but don't lie to yourself that your way will ever work for anything except tweaking your ego

                            someday, try to be *effective*

                              @benroyce Hopefully, gasoline prices, the cost of food, jobs vanishing, all of this mess convinces young folks to flock to the polls and vote. We lost a huge number of left votes in 2024 due to apathy and belief in the both sides are the same argument. We must GOTV and win big in 2026.

                                      @benroyce you can see it on his face. I can imagine that chant stirring something up in him from his youth.

                                          @peachfront and not voting is simply capitulation to MAGA malice. some people convince themselves they are taking a principled stand by not voting. this is delusional entitlement. to not understand or not admit the stakes and think they have the luxury is some sort of sick mixture of cluelessness and vanity. vanity because they think anyone gives a shit what they think if they don't vote

                                          @benroyce @peachfront Keep in mind that in obliterating blue districts... red districts have to be diluted with blue voters.

                                          And the more hard-core the right gets, the more of their own voters get turned off.

                                          I have faint, but persistent, hope that at least some of this redistricting will backfire as voters of all types get more angry with the status quo.
