    Not voting just gives fascism even more of a hold as things trend right. The right wing is still gonna vote, they aren’t going to start supporting leftist causes until something personally effects them, and even then it’s a low chance they put the pieces together. The left not voting means Donald trump takes charge again, followed by a monster even worse than him, and so on.

    Let me know when we’re marching and I’ll be there with you. Don’t be even dumber than me in the interim.

    Why did I just read the exact same nonsense text three times?

    What exactly do you want people to do? Your country has a shitty undemocratic FPTP voting system. Not voting strategically is equivalent to not voting at all, is equivalent to stating that you’re totally fine with the greater of two evils.

      Doubtful.

      Please share them if you can. I would love to know which users on Lemmy World have shared the “exact same nonsense text three times.”.

      Your country has a shitty undemocratic FPTP voting system.

      You are not American, so that can explain why you may not know the history and understanding of why people are not for the duopoly.

      Surprisingly, I also follow non-US people that have similar views, so you may be in an echo chamber or you just don’t agree with our views points, and that is okay.

      I am for educationing the working class and then organizing us to fight the real war, the Class War.

        You did. The title, the picture, and the text.

        I am for educationing

        Doubtful. If you were, you’d be in favour of “educationing” people about how the electoral system works. It’s got nothing to do with “not being for the duopoly”. You can be against the duopoly while also recognising that voting for a third party under FPTP is counterproductive. It’s not about ideology, it’s about basic maths.

        Also maybe “educationing” yourself about the language you speak.

          The framing of your comment made it seem like it was other people, my mistake.

          it’s about basic maths.

          Understanding the broken systematic issues our society has and as well as looking at the data and math is why we are not for the duopoly.

          Not sure if you know, but humans can and will continue to have typos when texting or having discussions on forums; that is normal.

          I do make edits if I have a lot, but if my thoughts are understood, I see no reason to fix them for minor typos.

    So if fascism is coming, all we gotta do is not vote, and it won’t come.

    Dude you gotta tell some of these activists and academics, they’ve been saying all KINDS of stuff about what we should be doing. They’ll be super stoked to hear it’s just the people who keep voting that are the problem and the solution is so simple.
