Get out and vote!

My favorite analogy is: You don't have to choose what's for dinner, but you're going to be forced to eat whatever was chosen.

Ever since I was old enough, I've voted in every single election I was eligible for. I don't care what people say or how unlikely it was for my candidate to win, I would still get out and vote.

To all the burn it down and rebuild leftists (by protesting and not voting for the lesser of 2 evils) tell me how well that went for the Communists in Germany and Italy the last time mask off fascism rose to power there....

Edit: Not one of these "Self-righteous leftists" have addressed my question about what happened to leftists in Germany or Italy when fascist took power there. Its almost like they dont give a shit about the Prolitariat and would rather engage in purity politics rather than support the working class or marginalized communities. Absolutely pathetic astroturfing, or simply a complete disregard for the Materical Conditions on the ground in America.

Voting is like paying taxes: It sucks, you don’t get anything you want, but not voting leads to problems.

I mainly vote to prove it doesn’t help and I haven’t been proven wrong since 2000

I find a lot of people arguing that one shouldn't vote because although easy, it is the least effective form of political engagement.

I'd argue that you should vote because it is the easiest form of political engagment and, if possible considering your material conditions, you should also try to participate in other forms of engagement.

Yep, I think that's uncontroversial...

Voting is important, but only an organized revolution is capable of breaking the system that fucks us up

No, I won't get out and vote.

I will stay in and vote by mail.

Liberals, please acknowledge that if there is a possibility every election that fascism will win, fascism will eventually win unless you take political action outside of electoralism

Not every state or county is having an election, you can check to see if you can/should participate here https://ballotpedia.org/Elections_calendar

This attitude is why Americans have two shitty right-wing parties

THANK you. There's been so much negative trolling on lemmy, really getting me down. Seeing your post actually reminded me I need to re-register.

OP demanding people vote, 'regretted not voting hillary' and then calling people SJW in the comments. Just your average liberal fascist.

I read that electron and I was so confused. I should go put on my glasses.

I can't get out and vote.

I can though in about two weeks. And the election will probably be just as significant.

My local election is just to renew some levy

What are you guys voting for ? I mean... Which election is it ?

I dunno I feel like the regional substitute comptroller elections don't have as many stakes as the bigger ones.

Doesn't voting not matter because it all gets decided by the electoral collage anyway?

The people who vote are loses.

These are the people who think electing some person they never met or spent any alone time with will magically make their lives better.
