Go vote, but it’s worth remembering that for the most part, the other party only does milquetoast critiques of the Nazis at best.

MODERATORS
Democrats don't oppose Nazis. Chuck Schummer, Hakeem Jeffries and Ken Martin did not oppose the Nazis. they have no intention of fixing the system that let the Nazis in.
If only the corporate Dems were actually on the good side... Sigh.
At least they aren't openly nazis. When presented with two evils, pick the lesser. If you don't pick either, bigger evil benefits for you not voting rather than voting against it.
I know, it feels pointless when the opposition is only marginally ~~better~~ less evil. But I am reminded this one motivational speaker who told me you have to make it difficult as possible for them:
If enough people always vote for lesser evil, and demand justice and accountability, it accumulates. Sure, a political party may spend a minimal effort to brush the one protestor off, but many will be more difficult to ignore. Eventually they have commit political capital and resources to answer the dissatisfaction, even if it's to defend themselves. And those are resources they have to divert from the usual fuckupperies. At some point it will be easier to budge to the demand of a large demographic.
If a politician can ignore a demographic for free, they will. An act of small resistance is still resistance.
No corporation is ever on your side. There’s a reason why authors for over a century have been writing dystopian books about them going back to the gilded age.
You guys needs more options..
Ranked.
Choice.
Voting.
When nazis are involved any other option is 99% better. There is a lot of difference between 99% and 100% in a normal situation but the difference is virtually nothing when fascists get in the way.
They have so many guns! How many options do they need???
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.
The one I hear the most is, "I'm an independent voter." The fools do not want to admit they believe in a pedophile, rapist and felon.
You can't get out of one of Jigsaw's games by refusing to play :(
I mean, technically...
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.
What socialist progressives in the Democratic Party need to do is what the Tea Party Republicans did over 15 years ago. The whole party needs to be reformed from the ground up at every available primary. They’ll actually get shit done if they get the centrists and corporate boot lickers out of the party.
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.
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.
The data disagrees with you, though.
Could of fooled me. Guess orange didn't win. Guess we can also ignore tendency of populations to also be drawn to fascism during economic tough times. Didn't know voter suppression benefits leftists more than the right.
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.
i feel like i’m gonna be reposting this image for eternity
Who nazis?
Psa: when reading the comments remember that maga want you demotivated and to stay home and just take it. Because they will vote, and they will not split their vote.
I've noticed both sides arguments have been most effective in convincing leftists to not vote.
But the right doesn't seem to be affected by it and comes out to vote consistently no matter what.
Aye. Funny, that.
