Correct. If you didn’t vote then you are spineless, a coward and lack any morals. You saw fascism coming and ignored what everyone said and then decided that it wasn’t worth the bare minimum effort of voting.
If you did not cast a ballot and you were eligible to do so then the things I want to say to you would get me banned from lemmy and probably arrested.
I mean my vote hasn’t mattered in the last 2 elections. My state hasnt flipped blue since Obama. There’s a lot of situations where voting is a waste of time. Making that not be true is what’s going to increase voter turnout, not trying to shame them for something they’re not responsible for
Man, you have just actively avoided logic at every possible opportunity here. You’re just burying your head in the sand and screaming that everyone else is wrong. The downvotes isn’t because i’m popular, it is because you have no idea what you’re talking about. Have fun with that, I’m done wasting time on you. There’s no point in having a conversation with you if you’re just going to divorce yourself from reality like a Trump or Pollievre voter.
Have fun with the bed you made. You aren’t worth a single second more of my time.
You sound like one of the idiots my grandfather tried to warn in Germany in the 1920s before he got the fuck out and came to America on forged papers on a Japanese fishing boat
Most governments around the world are ruled by villains consumed by greed and lust of power. If you support and fuel a genocide you are bad on pairs as nazi regardless of your country or political agenda. The government of israel by definition can’t be nazi but they are committing crimes as the nazi were.
Nope. It is dead correct. If you were eligible to vote and you did not vote then you should feel horrible. You should feel attacked. You should feel like everyone hates you. They do. You decided that fascism wasn’t important enough to vote against. You decided to go “Well both sides suck” when one side was actively planning genocide and destruction of the United States.
You do not get to have a say. Why? Because you didn’t vote. You decided not to use your voice so guess what? You don’t get to have one here.
You can try to blame people who didn’t vote the red and blue party as much as you want but they are not going to feel horrible because they didn’t support any murderer. You seem to be projecting a lot of resentment perhaps deep down you don’t feel happy about your choice?
Not engaging is also a choice, a very shit one in this case. You either contributed -1, 0, or +1 to a fascist takeover, sure 0 might be better than +1 but taking a neutral stance against such a dogshit prospect really puts the chair in armchair revolutionary, and doesn’t make you much better than the cheeto worshippers.
If you didn’t vote then you voted. Got it.

And if everyone in your state who thought that actually decided to vote then it might have actually made an impact.
See previous message.
K. That doesn’t explain your nonsense about “If you didn’t vote then you voted”.
It literally does. Your reading comprehension skills are not my problem.
It’s not my reading comprehension that’s at issue here, it’s your abilities with basic logic.
Ratio says otherwise. You are getting hammered with downvotes because you can’t grasp the simple concept that I put forward.
Ooh, “I’m popular so I’m right”. Yep, you have a major problem with logic.
Man, you have just actively avoided logic at every possible opportunity here. You’re just burying your head in the sand and screaming that everyone else is wrong.

I avoided logic? Aren’t you the person who claimed “if you didn’t vote then you voted”?
Not correct, if you didn’t vote you didn’t vote period.
People saying and persuading others to vote for murderers with blood on their hands are much bigger spineless coward with no morals.
That’s still a choice though.
You sound like one of the idiots my grandfather tried to warn in Germany in the 1920s before he got the fuck out and came to America on forged papers on a Japanese fishing boat
And you sound like an idiot using a poor comparison to defend scum as bad as the nazis.
So lemme get this straight. The Democrats are the Nazis here, not the people literally throwing up a seig heil?
You really have no say in this conversation.

You don’t vote? You don’t get to have a say in the conversation. You have willingly silenced yourself for the next 4 years. So sad for you.

Not voting at minimum makes you more dumb than MAGA… At least they understand voting can bring changes.
True, and that’s despite most of them believing it’s rigged anyway lmao
OP is saying +1 = 0.
Both sides were pro-genocide, you need a multi-party system
We do. But until then, everything they said stands.
We need systems where we vote for policies rather than parties.
Absolutely nothing will be fixed until we do.
You’re complicit in the result, correct.
That’s not what OP said. He said not voting is voting.
Silence is consent when it comes to politics. Always has been; always will be.
Is consent the same as voting for something?
Did you do anything to stop the violent ego maniac in the White House? No? Then you’ve cooperated with him.
Ok, now explain how not voting is voting.
Abstaining affects the outcome as much as voting does.
As much? Are you sure about that?
I’m pretty sure they mean half as much.
