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.
OK, yeah, I read this as claiming people who say, "voting doesn't matter," "genocide joe," and, "Obama is a war criminal," are all just stupid leftists. It sounds like we agree and I would have gotten more context from the post body of the post, not just the image and title. My bad. :/
no hard feelings :) your response was totally valid to a different kind of post, fortunately i’m not that !
Lemmy is so kind and rational, I have trouble adapting to the reasonable conversations here.
it’s really like three or four other people who are consistently kind and good faith. there is still a wealth of toxicity here too. :(
