This is precisely the kind of apathy to civic duty that won 4 more years of Trump (but this time with house, Senate and a stacked Scotus!).
The thing with voting rights is you have to use it or you lose it. Pray you don’t lose it between now and the next one.
Because it’s a two party system and voting third party isn’t how you change that.
You just gotta remember that they’re proportional to population. 1000 upvotes on a larger community may be equivalent to 25 on a small one.
Also on Lemmy upvotes don’t accumulate on your account like they do on reddit so they don’t mean dick in the long run.

Even beyond this, the person of the year isn’t an accolade or appraisal; it’s supposed to be the person who influenced the world by the largest margin in a given year. Trump’s a rapist piece of shit but there’s no doubting his name has probably been used more often than Smith in the last 12 months.
I was taught it stood for Universal Time Coordinate and I refuse to believe anything else.

Uh what? I’m pretty sure caveman me wouldn’t have Adderall.

As an Australian I’ve only ever said Woos-ta-sheer
We’re beyond parody. These ghouls can spew this with a straight face and their little piggies will eat it up without a second thought.
I care about the Americans who voted for Kamala and are attached at the hip to fascists who are taking the ship down with them. The ones who eagerly voted for Trump? Drown.
I think their intention was to appeal to older Republicans who remember the bush years with rose tinted glasses and don’t approve or the pivot that the GOP has done post-Obama.
Evidently they don’t make up a significant amount of red voters when compared to the frothing fascists who would eagerly re-elect a rapist.
Democrats keep extending the olive branch out of naïvety only to have it used to smack them across their stupid fucking faces.
Tbf tankies are right wingers who adopted a leftist aesthetic.
I’m not going to play chess with a pigeon but one day you’ll have your first moment of introspection and I hope it results in your realisation that while not complicit in the “Biden-Harris Genocide” you are absolutely 100% complicit in each and every consequence of a Trump-Vance administration which includes the genocide of Palestine.
VHS beat betamax because porn, dvd beat laserdisc because porn, streaming beat physical because porn.
If Trump wins because enough of you idiots couldn’t hold your nose and vote then the blood of those Palestinians is on your hands. You don’t get to absolve yourself because you chose not to participate in democracy.
You aren’t opposed to genocide because you couldn’t be assed to do the smallest thing to mitigate it.
Tbh most of the ire aimed at immigrants here is specifically targeted to either Indian or Ukrainian migrants. Infrastructure is genuinely buckling under the weight of migration but it’s a case of too little investment and not entirely the result of immigration.
I can say as a white, western immigrant to Canada that I’ve never had anyone complain about my immigration however I’ve had locals complain about immigration to me forgetting that I am indeed one of the immies.
Nothing I said assumed you were American. Your philosophy on voting led to Americans not voting and the situation they face right now (which effects other countries too, you know!)
Furthermore, no one here believes you give half a shit about direct action and organising because if you can’t even motivate yourself to get off the couch and write on a piece of paper once every 3-4 years then there’s no way you’re doing anything meaningful the rest of the time besides spreading apathy on online echo chambers.
