“Both sides are bad” are designed to encourage people to join or form alternative movements. Not voting is a possible, but not necessary, collateral side effect. The strenghtening of alternative movements is the only way out of this bipartisan nightmare, even if today it seems unreachable.

The fact that you think there’s two sides is the problem.

Dump the f’n Electoral College!!!

If you guarantee your vote to someone, they will lose any incentive to act for your benefit. It’s really that simple. And if genocide is not a bridge too far for you, God help you, because obviously there’s no limit to what you’ll put up with.

You gotta keep voting the lesser of two evils for the main elections, while voting for the best alternatives you can find locally.

It’s two-fold.

The overton window has shifted so far that we’re getting warmongering from the democrats.

‘Half’ of the congressional left are sleeper agents for the right.

The DNC keeps pushing right and refuses to do anything to keep us from sliding into authoritarianism. Appeasing the right, Siding with Israel.

But not voting left is the same as voting right, that IS how the right wins.

And voting left is just giving them a blank check to keep sliding that window further right.

Neither party is going to let a third party in.

Appeasing the left is making them worse.

The rub, people think if they keep not-voting or voting independent, the DNC will give in and start moving stuff left. They won’t. They don’t truly want to win.

It’s like fucking Brewsters millions out here, but “None of the Above” won’t fucking help either.

I think, mostly, we can agree that the agenda of the “left” is the lesser of two evils, but the evils are getting so bad that we need desperately to do something to move the window back left a little.

I vote in all elections, while simultaneously believing all politics is theatre conducted by those that actually own the world.

I want to preface this by saying that I do vote in every election, and I think everyone should exercise their right to vote.

That being said, both parties are bad. We’re in a class war, and the Democrats are just as beholden/part of the oligarchy as the Republicans are.

The Republicans are definitely worse than the Democrats. There’s no question there, but what we really need is a fucking revolution.

You gotta use that energy to push people in the primary

No raindrop feels responsible for the flood.

both sides are pretty bad, but you still gotta get on the bus

Your frequent reminder from the local queer, leftist furry that if “voting didn’t work,” Republicans and billionaires wouldn’t spend billions of dollars on voter suppression and propaganda telling you that your vote doesn’t matter.

Do your part, waste billionaire money by voting anyway, by any means necessary~

When will we prolls wrap our heads around the fact that we have been excluded from the Democratic process by the electoral vote. Not trying to be mean or sarcastic I’m just looking for a timeline.

Dear Americans, voting for Democrats will get you nowhere, too. I know this is hard, but you will have to start a revolution or vote for a third party in an unprecedented coordinated effort.

Now the question is which is easier, convincing millions of people to vote for “anyone not a republican” or convincing a candidate to be more than “not republican”
