This is where I would usually post videos on the flaws of First-past-the-post voting alongside videos going over alternative voting systems with no spoiler effect.
Those days have passed us by. Good luck everyone.
Oh, Lemmy’s like this, too, I guess. That’s a shame.
silly goose liberal, lemmy is for communists 😘
Yes true but the red trolley someone will hang out the window and shoot you. The blue trolley will just keep trucking.

If you had to pick one, who would you say is more responsible for encouraging voter apathy: The Democratic party for openly becoming Bush-era Republicans and then doing a genocide, or lemmy dot ml for pointing it out?
Republicans literally want many of the closest people in my life to be dead for being trans. The only possible way they can win elections is if people don’t vote, I don’t care if democrats aren’t doing themselves any favors, encouraging voter apathy is directly beneficial to Trump and his goons because their base always votes. Cope however you want though.
The dems cheered on the genocide of Palestinians in thr last 4 years alone. Is their life less important because they’re not Americans?
Personally, I hope Trump keeps winning and imploding the US because your hellhole of a country has wrought nothing but death and destruction for those of us in the third world. I’m not going to cry tears of blood when the imperial boomerang finally comes home
Fucking preferred the nothing of the blue guy tyvm. Was he perfect, hell no, would I rather have him at the helm now? Yes please.
this is only relevant for gringos, the rest of the people like me in the world keep getting fucked. i don’t give two fucks about your blue/redmaga bullshit. i want your country to stop being a fascist empire.
the nothing of the blue guy
(*this stage of) The Palestinian genocide began under the blue guy
It began in the 1940s.
Every other person in the world would rather an incomoent nincompoop be at the helm, so that you get a taste of the death and destruction you’ve wrought onto the rest of the world for 80 years. Good luck!
The meme doesn’t mention Biden, who wasn’t even on the ticket, because the DNC undemocratically shoved Harris down your throat.
💦💦
Your daily reminder that BlueMaga liberals don’t consider non-westeners to be human. That’s why they can describe active genocide as “nothing” and “not perfect”
As an immigrant: go fuck yourself
As someone outside the US empire: how about you go fuck yourself instead.

If you’re from outside the US, then what’s your stake in this?
I don’t know maybe the fact that the us is a giant murderous empire that kills thousands(+) every year through direct military action and indirectly through financial warfare and has destroyed multiple countries? Really confirming Americans don’t see people outside euroamerika as human.
I was talking to the fuckface saying that both parties are equivalent
Which party destroyed Libya? Which party oversaw and supported the beginning of this current escalation to overt genocide in Palestine? Which party filled Serbia with depleted uranium that continues to have negative effects in health outcomes to this day? Which party oversaw the drone strikes on weddings and innocents in Yemen and across the middle east?
I could keep going and also talk about the bi-partisan enforcement of sanctions that kill thousands(+) every year, or the backsites like Guantanamo that continue to run under both parties and so on.
Ok, then why is it better not to vote? Or are you saying it’s better to vote republican?
Which action, in regards to voting, improves this situation?
Voting or not voting in America is irrelevant one is not better than the other. Your vote means nothing you have a uniparty that works for the interest of a ruling class to which they have given 2 names. I often wish Americans would remember how change was truly affected by groups like the Suffragettes, and those that made up movements like the labour movements and civil rights movement etc (hint: it wasn’t by voting for 99.9% Hitler). If they would start seeing people outside euroamerika as equal humans that would be nice too but I can only live and hope.
If both are equivalent, then why did you ask me to go fuck myself?
Voting and not voting are equally meaningless actions, pushing voting as something important and the democrats as something to strive for is bullshit that only serves to obscure reality and help perpetuate the status quo that is built on the mass exploitation and murder of those of us outside the empire.
We are begging you to overthrow your government. Stop removed on the internet about red VS blue.

I misspoke. It wouldn’t be in midlogs, because a user deleted it. Thanks for that though, I’m glad you’re not busy.

Hahaha!
is this sarcasm?
Edit: their comment was just calling me an “expendable”, and they pretty much admitted farther down that they’re a bigot and they meant it.
No, they (me) didn’t.
Fuck me yourself, coward.
Why did I find this so funny, lol.
I’m stealing this
