Mehdi’s Memo on the results of our new poll on Gaza and Iran
You're viewing part of a thread.
And as long as everyone isn't doing their part, it won't. That's how democracy works. The ones who vote get to decide everything. Republicans vote.
1 1 ReplyYeah but I'm voting and don't decide shit
1 0 ReplyBecause you're one of many. The many who agree with you need to vote, too, because the ones who don't sure do.
1 0 ReplyIt still feels fucking useless
1 0 ReplyI know, our electoral system sucks and is very demoralizing. But giving up completely means letting the fascists win. I refuse to do that.
1 0 ReplyIt seems like the fascists are gonna win anyway
1 0 ReplyThey might. But it won't be because I personally didn't do anything to oppose them.
1 0 ReplyVoting seems like the least effective thing you could do
1 0 ReplyAnd yet, their supporters vote all the time. Now why would they do that if it's so useless? Also, not voting at all is the least you can do.
1 0 ReplyBecause they know there's more of them than us and can win easily. I'd be a lot more enthused about it if I got results, too.
1 0 ReplyNo, there's actually a lot more of us than them. The combination of gerrymandering and 2 senators per state gives them far more representation than they should have, then add in non-conservative voters being much less likely to vote and they end up with minority rule. But it's not inevitable - if everyone else voted in the same percentages as they do, they wouldn't have a majority in Congress or be in the White House ever again.
