Know how the “far left” is telling us to not vote this year?
Ever wonder why that is?
The far left tells you to vote and organize.
Russian bots tell you to protest from your living room.
On lemmy, it’s mostly the same thing. I’m not sure I’ve seen a person claiming to be a far lefter suggesting anyone vote.
EDIT: I’m standing corrected, and happy to be wrong.
I'm far left. Vote.
Happy?
…. Happier guess? In fairness, it stands to reason that I wasn’t suggesting that ALL of them are Russian bots, but we all can safely assume that many here are.
I'm also far left, absolutely vote. Living in a fascist dictatorship makes organising for change harder.
It’s good to see people say so, but unfortunately, there’s not enough of the good one’s helping to stop the bad ones from spreading their propaganda. You MUST know there are people among you that are using your ideology to influence an election, right?
“Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”
~ John Stuart Mill
Of course, and there's people in the centre left that are pushing for a total change in the way the US is governed. There's great and shit people everywhere.
It’s be awesome if you guys would help tell these bots using your ideology to influence an election to sway toward Trump to fuck off.
I'm far left (anarcho-syndicalist) and I say vote. It's not that hard and buys us more time to do our organizing and try to build out unions and mutual aid networks while fascism is at least growing more slowly.
Not at all. There is a suspicious amount of trolls/idiots here but don't think the people pushing back aren't leftists. See e.g. me
this comment is entirely correct, due to the use of quotes. The far left isn't telling you not to vote. The "far left" is. Those saying that are not left. Those comments are the output of the right.
Voter suppression is their game. status quo at worst. third reich at best.
100%. And they’re very convincing.
What the fuck are you on about?
The fact that there's a lot of “leftists” on social media that propose voting third party in the next US general election. Due to the spoiler effect, everyone following that advice will help Trump getting elected.
These “leftists” are therefore either idiots or false flag actors (most likely Russian trolls, since Russia is known to both employ them and to benefit a lot from a Trump presidency)
He's on a personal crusade against anything to the left of Reagan.
…. Says the guy who’s on a personal crusade to get Trump elected.
I'm really not. But you are really invested in not seeing that.
Right… so… your bullshit accusations are true, but anyone else that calls you out is lying.
Grow up.
A. I refuse to, on principle. But that doesn't mean I'm not serious.
B. No, just you. I've gotten along with plenty of other people I disagree with and they've not resorted to literally making things up about me.
It’s always funny how you people become victims of things “people make up” about you- yet your ENTIRE ideology is based on things made up about people.
Fucking hypocritical if you ask me.
No you literally went off about my supposed inexperience and/or lack of education. I guess gaslighting is just normal for you though.
Okay buddy.
