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.

    No one is forcing you to vote blue no matter who. Democracy is withholding your vote if your voice isn’t being heard.

      Maybe I’m an idealist, but I think democracy is when your views are represented and government is responsive to the needs of the people.

      “Democracy is when you don’t vote” just doesn’t make sense to me.
