Typical hexbear user
Either you’re creating anti democratic propaganda or you’re consuming and regurgitating it. Fuck off.
Typical hexbear user observing the world. Maybe next time if you
hard enough it'll finally work
yeah i'm sure not voting definitely will change things
oh wait
and before you go on about doing other stuff than voting, you know that voting doesn't keep you from also doing those things? not voting is just bad, no good. you're not giving the state the finger you're laying down and saying 'do with me what you will idc.'
Precisely. I voted today and it took a few minutes of my time. There was still plenty of time in the morning to keep working on the things I think will make more of an impact re: improving things somewhat. Mutual aid and anything else in the bucket of "resisting tyrannical government" is much easier when it's only +1 more evil rather than +10.
Nah I think the people who constantly make the most barbaric decisions or excuse why they can't revert them are the ones being anti-democratic.
Wouldn't those with the power given to them by the population who then act against what those voters want be the anti-democratic ones?
I struggle to see how potential voters pointing out they never get what they ask for is the reason for any of our problems today.
