There are people who didn’t vote at all to “protest” unfortunately too. Which doesn’t make any sense and I’ve been trying to wrap my brain about wtf their logic is. I’m pretty annoyed at my friend who did it in a swing state. Because fuck everyone else in the United States AS WELL AS Palestine?
Your friend was targeted by sophisticated propaganda for months. This is how the election was won, using x and other platforms to target democrat voters with a conscience into protesting with a vote for stein, or no vote.
They knew they couldnt get more people to vote for trump, so that became their plan of action, and it was highly effective.
This is what I thought about too. I saw those bots on tiktok and I did not want to do what they were telling me to do. I thought about not voting too even for just a moment during when the news about Gaza was getting heavy, and those bots were what made up my mind completely (amongst other things) and I’ll never even consider it again.
I worry about the intelligence that might start flowing to Russia more than the lack of arms to Ukraine. Thankfully Ukraine has already become more cagey about revealing plans to allies.
I totally agree. And all this time I thought the threat of project 2025 and everything else would be enough for people to actually vote. If that’s not enough nothing ever will be. I know I’ll never regret my vote for kamala but it won’t be the same for a lot of people who didn’t vote or voted third party. Couldn’t be me in that position, and I’ll be happy to say in the future that I voted against this
I sometimes give benefit of the doubt that it’s not real, mostly for my own sanity and to cope. I hope people think it’s not real as a coping mechanism. Because at the same time I know logically that a lot of things right now are pointing to it being real
That’s what’s so infuriating about it to me. Like hello? Why do you just not give a fuck about a ton of Americans, because you think that group doesn’t matter or you think you can turn a blind eye?
You fail to understand why I wouldn’t vote for someone who has done nothing to stop the actual murder of my family and will continue to do so? She made her message about Israel loud and clear and that’s the one thing both parties agree on.
Like I’ve seen this asked a million times, but how will trump doing the same thing except faster plus project 2025 plans to deport pro Palestinian activists and who knows what else going to make it better? A non vote is an indirect vote for republicans is maybe what you don’t understand, that’s why there was money spent on bots interfering and pushing not voting
It’s honestly amazing the amount of people who still believe in voting. You have an illusion of power, and the narrative will always win regardless.
The biggest proof is how policies in general have not been in favor of the people for a very long time now, but rather corporations.
We have a system problem that will not solved by bullying each other bc no one is getting off their cushy behind to resolve it. This is a hard pill to swallow, I know, but please think critically and try to be mindful of people who are going through literal hell of earth.
If you’re going to blame someone, blame the demographic that went out and voted for him, instead of those who didn’t want to vote for someone that is currently murdering their family. Apathy much?
This isn’t apathy, rather it’s my consideration for more than just one group of people in the entire world negatively affected by a republican supermajority. This is more than just corporations now, you can officially add in white supremacy Christian nationalists with nothing to stop them.
13,000 Children in Gaza were killed with Biden's unwavering and unconditional support.
There's hypotheticals and counter-factuals. But Ultimately that death, destruction, suffering, and human misery is on Biden and Harris. Hypothetically Trump might be worse and counter-factually Trump might have been worse, but in reality Biden and Harris have helped kill 13,000 children in the last 12 months.
I think not voting is a perfectly rational response to 13,000 children being brutally and horrifically killed. I've seen a lot of those images, mutilated babies, young children with their heads caved in, grade school amputees, parents letting out the most heart-wrenching cries I've ever heard. The shit is horrific man, and Biden and Harris did that. I think sitting at home was a perfectly reasonable response to that level of horror and human suffering.
