Brey, capitalism and capitalists are boiling the planet like soup for pennies a share. We're surrounded by politically empowered nazis, and our entire state apparatus is DEVOTED to mercing brown ppl for weapons contractors. The labor class is being decimated and reduced to a state of debt-serfdom. An entire generation of young people KNOW they have no future and no reason to try for one.
And when you say "it's not on the ballot" - I agree with you, which is why folks ain't caring about ballots.
Can't vote to end capitalism that's killing us. Can't vote to crush fascists that're lining us up for camps. Can't vote to provide basic healthcare to our dying families. Can't vote to stop corporate monopolies bleeding us dry. Can't vote to end the genocides our government is funding and supporting. Can't vote to protect migrants. Can't vote even to protect queer people. Can't vote against white supremacy. Can't vote to dismantle a fascist SCOTUS or enshrine rights.
Then what good is voting?
If the election is about the concerns of affluent suburbanites, then why do you expect anyone who isn't an affluent suburbanite to come and save you? Did you folks save us? "You gotta protect DEMOCRACY!" For whom? Cause we ain't got one down here.
@AnarchoNinaWrites I desperately need that goose meme saying democracy for who motherfucker?
@AnarchoNinaWrites This is why I knew they gave up the game when they didn't focus on voting rights.
If they *at least wanted to try* and have a democracy, that is what they would have worked on FIRST...
Very telling they didn't.
@AnarchoNinaWrites you can always vote for guillotines, no ballot required.
@AnarchoNinaWrites obviously its purpose is to slow down progress.
im not against voting of course. voting is a wonderful thing, in an actual democracy. in a fascist corporate hellscape you get to choose between one hellscape and a slightly nicer hellscape, and every few years it gets worse.
this is a nice outlet for people who like to feel like they made a real difference every *checks notes* couple of years or so.
@AnarchoNinaWrites feel free to block me if it’s a rhetorical question. The good in voting is choosing the lesser enemy. You still gotta fight one of ‘em. Might as well pick the one who hasn’t already drawn up plans for the death camps.
@angst_ridden No, I do not have to "fight for one of them" and go fuck yourself.
@AnarchoNinaWrites fight *against* one of em. And, ok, I’m fucking off.
@angst_ridden Not fast enough, not fast enough...
