If only the corporate Dems were actually on the good side... Sigh.
In person, I don't really see a whole lot of people in the US admitting or claiming that they didn't or don't vote.
I do, however, see a lot of life-long Republicans and known Trump voters making claims like "I don't really use social media" and "other than the weather I don't keep up with the news", both of which I know are lies in many cases.
However, giving them benefit of the doubt on that, they're admitting something equally as bad: They aren't educating themselves, they aren't informed on important matters, and facts do not matter to them. They're shirking their responsibilities.
Personally, I've always, always, always operated under the principle that our rights come with responsibilities, so I find it shameful that so many people are so negligent in that respect.
As something of an anarchist, I never voted until the nazis became a big political force in my country.
Now I vote every election because by not voting I'm letting the nazis grow.
The democratic system gave up on serving the disenfranchised long before the disenfranchised gave up on the democratic system.
If you want to be angry, be angry at those protecting the system from change, not the people who have given up hope that it can be changed.
Be kind to people, be ruthless to systems.
Yes, both parties suck, and you are allowed to dislike both, but they don't suck equally and not (completely) in the same way and you are obliged to decide for yourself which party sucks harder, which you dislike more, and most importantly - which are you the most scared of getting into power.
Just because you don't want to be neither leftist nor rightist doesn't mean you need to aim for the dead center. That's as dogmatic as aiming for one of the extremes, and in fact dumber because it's not even motivated by any ideology.
Isn't it fascinating both sides are bad argument has been most effective in convincing those on the left to not vote?
Meanwhile that argument doesn't tend to work on the right and they brush it off and go out to vote consistently.
Also people who chase the word “moderate” because they desperately cling to the idea that being nonchalant in politics is a good thing are so focused on it that they will be a conservative just to avoid the leftmost party even if the left-most party is actually centrist.
Close to what you said, just exposes even more of how dumb it is.
Who nazis?
