claim 1: “voting doesn’t change anything”
Never forget the recent case of Kris Mayes, who refuses to uphold the Arizona supreme court’s sweeping ban of abortion.
Kris Mayes only won her 2022 election by 280 votes. Voting changes things.
claim 2: “but genocide joe”
Yep. Hold that fucker’s feet to the fire. He has blood on his hands
But trump has promised to be indisputably worse.
I won’t tell you how to vote. I just encourage you to vote. You’re not radical for ditching the only miniscule right the state has granted you to do some small aid for your neighbors.
In Quebec, we have a saying that I would like to share with you. It comes from our love for complaining. We are completely addicted to complaining about everything. It’s our third national sport after Hockey and curling.
“If you don’t vote, you can’t complain”
If you vote for a person and they don’t do the promised thing, you can complain. You have an
excusereason.If you vote for a person and someone else gets elected, you can complain that the person you voted for would have done a better job.
If you do NOT vote, you didn’t do shit. You didn’t do the strict minimum. You have no excuse to complain about any of it, because you did not participate in the decision.
but what if i want to have my cake and eat it too! i want to avoid doing the strict minimum and complain i feel like you are ignoring my emotional needs in all of this /s :)
