#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.

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.
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

@benroyce Hungary delivered another far right racist autocrat whos main difference is alliance with west europe instead of russia. Voting not how to get real change especially if you dont want any small success taken away immediantly

false
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 bloodwhat 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

@benroyce no you don't submit to a "better oppressor" you fight all with all your power. fuck your "pragmatism" that maintains oppression for your benefit

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 Unc in the blue coat is conflicted, he's too close to that pension to mess his job up.

He wore his cape cuz he's not allowed to wear his hood.
@Weirding_Is_Real yet. Don't let them! @benroyce

unc has a nice job. and no matter what he thinks he can't do much here. i don't hold it against him. hopefully the direct experience means unc's stomach turns enough that he'll do what he can elsewhere, at other times. and keep his job. inside men, and women, are good assets for any movement. information. to be deployed when the time is right, with a good plan

@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.

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
