Not only don’t listen to the “both parties are the same” people - get them out of your life, block them, move on to giving your time to people who believe in change. It’s not naive to believe in making progress, it’s naive to think it won’t take hard work and have lots of setbacks.
Both sides are the same. In that they both serve the Epstein class.
But one side wants to give you health care.
The other side wants to let you die because Line Go Up!
I'm kind of there with you.
"Both sides are bad" = true.
"Both sides are the same" = false.
And really 'both sides' are bad because we let them be. More attendance and information for primaries and choices would probably be a hell of a lot more palatable in most places.
Anti-fraud measures played a huge part as well both in Hungary and Serbia. Groups of volunteers hung around voting stations, spotting and reporting irregularities. Sometimes getting threatened by burly men who brought dozens of impoverished people who sold their votes in vans and stuff like that. They're the unsung heroes of these elections.
I didn't know they organized to this extent. That's awesomey thanks for the link.
There haven't been many English-language articles on the topic - I'm trying not to be paranoid about it, but it crossed my mind that it's a bit suspicious. With Trump's history and interference intentions, I think the importance of citizen preparation and organization cannot be overstated.
Some Americans will justify not voting by using Palestine as an example. Well, yeah, your dems suck too but it's not a reason to not take action. Voting is easy enough, and at least it really works. Fantasizing about the Revolution won't do shit.
Also voting is a way to shift the Overton window. If the left wing party has a thumping majority, those in the party with more radical views (like being against genocide /s) actually have room to manoeuvre and pressure their leader, or even to split off and form their own party.
I remember back in the 2010s the argument for not cracking down on the far right in the USA was that that would trigger a civil war. We saw on J6 how many would show up to fight on their side. They were all there. Now, unfortunately they control the military, so it's much harder.
Coward liberals always paving the road for the fascists that come after them.
Vote Blue, just don't forget that we are still likely going to need to take to the streets and take action anyway in case Republicans do not step down peacefully, or they ratfucked your state's elections.
Never forget that Republicans broke the social contract between us and our government by ignoring Due Process and breaking the very foundations of the trust in our legal system. They should not longer be protected by said Social Contract, they do not get to have Due Process after they wiped their asses with it.
No fanboying for any politicians, ever anymore. Not Obama, Biden, Newsome or Mamdami. They just need to shut the fuck up and do their jobs. Give them no rope, If they aren't doing their jobs right, demonstrate, protest, strike, fuck their week up until they do their job. Being competent shouldn't be treated as being exceptional.
Please please please, America. Get your orange, shit stained, geriatric, pedo rapist, despotini ~~into an electric chair~~, ~~prison~~, ~~care~~, under control. We're begging you! -The rest of the world
I don’t think I’ll survive 16 more years of this
Also orban was the middleman for putin for funding things like cpac, and dailywire, and other right wing grifters, funny how they mostly became quiet and in disarray ever since thier faucet was turned off.
