    #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?

        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

            @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.

            @ignova @peachfront

            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

                in this world you get a choice between better or worse

                that's it

                that's your best deal. ever. anywhere

                even in revolution, nevermind democracy. is revolution vanguards of ideological purity crushing all opposition? 😂 no. it's the same shit, just more blood

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

                eventually, you get good

                if you never even try because perfect isn't on the table, by your absence, aggregate with other toxic idealists like you, malice wins

                    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.

                                  @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.

                                    And so, Tennessee joins the club of states I do not allow one cent of my money to go to, (if I can help it), with Texas and Florida.

                                    I know there are a whole lot of good people in those states, but the ones in power need to feel the squeeze.

                                    I'm looking at you too, Utah.

                                        i understand the sentiment but

                                        1. there is no such thing as ideological purity in revolution. so after oceans of blood what comes out on the other side could be about the same

                                        2. MAGA could win. so much worse

                                        3. and even if through much suffering what is good and just prevails, then what happens? we vote again. we deal with these same entitled losers again going "eh, not perfect enough for me" and via their nonvoting toxicity we slide back towards MAGA again

                                        so we just have to #vote
