    why? does voting in a rigged election with the only two parties could vote on having already been bought and sold? why register does it show more than if one engaged in acts of civil disobedience?

    uncle tomming this has not worked and will not work quit cozying up to the masters and trying to be HOA because not going to find common ground or gain a voice

    just bread and circuses done in an attempt to keep us culled and only thing going to get us out is to be a fist together and rise up

      Yeah, cuz 30%+ of people not voting worked so well last time. After the MAGA sheep, they definitely aren’t the cause of where we are now.

      Turns out you can do both. Vote to send a message to others, if nothing else. Make the fascists lives harder in every way. Don’t just roll over at the polls and make the takeover even easier for them.

        but the rest that voted for Harris who catered to Republicans and who picked a VP that worked with Trump while he was a governor helped so much with their votes

        voting makes the fascists lives harder? how so when that is what they want you to do?

        want you to feel included and part of the hive mind and that your vote counts and you can get the day you voted for and what corruption when we could just vote it away no blood required to get these stains out

        no way to vote your way into a better existence you have to get some blood, dirt, tears mixed together and other ingredients to make that cake not going to happen with paper unless goal is to get high and elated off false ideals

      No, people actually need to GO OUT AND VOTE. Telling people to not vote takes away the shred of agency they have. Both sides bad is a false equivalence meant to keep people from voting. Positive change seems to only happen in increments. Fast change is often violent and slapdash.

        my grandfather was also fed this slop and fed it to my dad who then try to make me eat it

        that is the narrative they want you to have - shit is bad but got a vote and it may go somewhere just have to use it

        but just like the lottery only one winner and certainly not any of us

        votes are rigged and past time people wake up and quit pretending even MLK knew that at the end of the day vote only means as much as the ones controlling things let it
