made an addendum to this liberal meme i saw floating around lefty reddit

25% percent of Hillary supporters switched parties, coining the slogan "party unity my ass"

A decade later they would spend 2 election cycles blaming people who didn't support her in spite of her doing everything g she could to pass them off.

Never voting: not even permitted to comment, by rules of lib civility

Not voting: Somehow 4 votes for the Republicans

I've been told that literally the only thing I can ever do to hope to express political opinions is to vote, seems like anything other than the action that is like voting the most would be irresponsible.

or by Brooks Brothers customers

Gets decoded by lawyers, republicans scream "fuck you, no" and them dems go "aw shucks" and give up

but it didn't actually iirc.. there were so many schemes going on just to get it to the point where it seemed like it was an even split..

florida adding tens of thousands of people to the felon list who had never been charged with or convicted of any felonies.. votes were lost.. hanging chads... what a goddamn circus this country is

Nine voters in black robes

"Good news, I'm also not voting for Trump which means I AM voting for Biden unless what you justbsaid is bullshit. Which means actually I'm voting twice without breaking the law, why aren't you excercising the most important right given to you and voting twice by not voting for wither person. Do you not care about democracy?

And most people im the US don't vote. Way more than people like us who are ideologically in opposition to the US, but tgey blame their failures on us anyway

Maybe it's bidens fault since those 2000 people have explicitly outlined what it takes to get their vote for decades and dems electoral strategy has been "go fuck yourself and if you dont like that it's your fault we lost"

What swing state has 2000 leftist voters?

nah they wouldn't 180 even to own Trump, the party is zionist.

Look the person in one of the Dakotas who doesn't think climate change is real because he slid into a ditch when he tried to drive drunk last week because there was an icy spot, their vote counts for several times as much as any climate scientist with a degree who lives in a blue state.

If you think there's something wrong with this you just don't understand how politics works.

Really don't understand why there isn't stronger support for the president who explicitly told young voters "nothing will fundamentally damentally change" and "I have no sympathy for problems faced by young people"

He even said that his son dying of cancer meant that anyone having better outcomes than his son did dishonored his son

My point is insisting on not voting is still unproductive engagement in electoralism. You can do productive electoralism, but you don't focus on the actual vote. You can take the pretense of canvassing for candidate to do a mass line and adjust your org's strategy accordingly. Or use phonebanking to build a roster of sympathetic neighbors. Or you can discuss strategy with new naive political activist. Electoralism can be done correctly but it requires a certain balance of cynicism and optimism which is hard but can be very bountiful.

That last one doesn't land on libs because in their mindset Republicans winning is like the default. It's like the natural flow of how America works, but Democrats are like the counter balance to assert liberty or freedom or whatever. So they believe any neutrality is inherent support for Republicans.

It's more her position on vaccines and her comfort with Putin that concern me. Otherwise she has some fantastic positions.

Liberals come in all smug about how they know better when the only meaningful difference between most of 'their guys' and most conservatives is that 'their guys' are corporate sellouts who think companies should be allowed to make ads that show gay people and minorities

While those companies use literal slavery outside the US, and the Supreme Court just shrugs and says "we're a smol bean country that doesn't have any jurisdiction here since it's happening outside our borders even though the perpetrators all have addresses here" by a 8-1 majority (the lone dissenter being a fucking chud that thinks the court should have been MORE on the side of the slavers)

But yeah no, condescend more libs, between that and Roe disappearing under a Liberal Presidency and legislature, there's lots of reasons to vote lib

Like if I want to proclaim myself a loser that cares but not really

Noticeable change takes more time than you'd expect, like at least 2 years, often longer, especially if the party doesn't hold both Congress and the presidency. You won't see the kind of change you're looking for anyway as long as the country keeps going from red to blue and back again every other president, especially when congress has an opposition party majority.

For now each administration spends most of the first few years trying to undo the partisan changes of their predecessors with some flair here and there for their legacy while the US slowly Yo-Yos into facism.
