Political Memes

This post is designed to keep people voting for the purple party.

Look around the world. Most places [have systems that] do not succumb to this corrupt harmful stupidity.

Vote and organise harder around independents and "3rd party" candidates. Especially any seeking to implement proportional representation, ranked choice voting, direct democracy, etc. Double especially for any seeking to eliminate the various layers of corruption in the democratic system, such as proprietary voting machines, voter suppression, the electoral college, lobbying, gerrymandering, etc.

And most of all... stop falling for it.

"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.

Bingo.

Just got perma-banned from the "Late Stage Capitalism" sub cuz I called the single moderator (always bad) out as a coward for deleting my comments pointing out that both sides are not the same and in the situation we find ourselves in it is to our benefit to vote for the one currently not engaging in fascism.

Kinda wish there was a rule that subs have to have more than one active moderator or get shut down after a period of time. But I guess some subs are so small and specific that wouldn't work. Just sucks losing subs to a single powertripping moron.

This is lib bullshit. Voting is how you keep the Epstein class in power.

Prove me wrong and nominate an anti-genocide candidate.

I've been voting in every election since I turned 18. That whole time pretty much was, "Don't vote third party because you're throwing your vote away." That logic has been used by the establishment for that entire time to justify not changing, not supporting socialist candidates, and amplifying the ratcheting effect. I WILL NOT hold my nose anymore. I'll write in a candidate. If anything, we should start coordinating outside of the established news structure and CHOOSE a third-party candidate to vote for and write in when the two options are garbage. Your vote is your vote, and every time you compromise your priorities to vote against your own beliefs and interests, you are playing their game.

TLDR: I'll write in my own chosen candidate before I ever hold my nose for Democrats again, and there isn't a damn thing anyone can say to change my mind.

This debate is a sign that our democracy is dying. We can't find a good candidate anywhere in the political spectrum. The Democrats are intentionally incompetent and ineffective.

But the belief that the system is fixable enough that we can vote our way out of the problem persists. So the proletariat spend the last days of the empire arguing about whether or not voting works and if there are good candidates, meanwhile the bourgeois loot the treasury in preparation for coming collapse.

Voting in another bourgeois president will not fix any problems. At best, it will delay the inevitable. The system is unfixable. Even if we defeat Trump, the dissatisfaction with the status quo will continue. Even if Kamala had won, the dissatisfaction with the status quo will continue. The political class is incapable of devising effective solutions for the problems of a system they benefit from.

Something will rise from the ashes of this moment in history, I think it's time we get started on building that future.

There is no historical precedent for an electoral solution to massive wealth inequality. There is no historical precedent for an electoral solution to fascism. If you think voting alone is going to save our country, or the world, you have a problem.

Voting gives the system an appearance of consent and legitimacy. Mass non-compliance is the answer.

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.

The Washington regime isnt a democracy, it just have the aesthetics of democracy. Giving your vote to the regime is to legitimize their reign. Resist might, sow seed that relights atrention towards collective endavours. Nationalism and walldoms will lead us nowhere. Democratic confederations is the future.
