One of my favorite things about social media is how everyone is seemingly aghast at the egregious and corrupt results of capitalism, but every single election, you all insist to me that I have to vote for a capitalist as a moral imperative.

And it’s been accelerating since Reagan, but 99% of voters aren’t going to change. Ever.

Yes.

You can vote Green.

FlashMobOfOne,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

That’s what you’re doing when you vote Green.

You throw away your vote by voting Democrat and Republican.

How badly do they have to fail before you stop doing so?

Some of us don’t have the luxury of indulging in protest votes.

Who is this us you’re referring to?

Are you a billionaire? That’s the only group the Democrats are actually serving. The rest get pretty speeches during campaign time and broken promises after the election.

My vote doesn’t mean anything in a two-party system.

We’re getting fascists no matter who we elect.

Get rich people to pay taxes.

L—O—L

The Democrats aren’t going to make any meaningful changes to tax policy. They’re wealthy too, you know.

Student loan forgiveness

I suppose his half measures are nice. It is a bummer that he’s not doing more considering he has the authority to act unilaterally, and has used it previously. But when you expect nothing, like I do, half measures seem better than they are.


Even so, Biden is a terrible president.

He’s done nothing meaningful about the cost of living crisis. Education and health care are still unaffordable for the working class and poor. This, more than anything else, is what’s going to get Trump reelected.

Roe is gone, and Dems’ response was to fundraise off of it and do nothing else. Idaho even got away with criminalizing abortion, which means 2/3 of the states will do the same in the next year.

Biden’s openly aiding fascist apartheid in Israel with our money. He’s also aiding homegrown fascism in America by helping to militarize cops even further.

Homelessness grew 12% last year alone. The cost of living crisis should be Biden’s main focus, but all he seems to care about is finding more money we don’t have in order to fund other countries’ wars.

And you are actively participating in your own oppression, knowingly voting for a candidate when you’ve seen for four straight decades that either ruling party is going to make your life demonstrably harder.

Do you like paying double for your groceries?

Do you like that your rent is skyrocketing?

Meanwhile they make hundreds of billions appear out of thin air for other countries’ wars.

What exactly are you expecting a Democratic vote to change?

If the Democrats did their job Trump wouldn’t even be on the ballot, so your faith seems misguided to me.

Vote Green instead.

FlashMobOfOne,

Most of what you ask for requires a Democrat majority so big that they can both pass new laws AND expand SCOTUS. You’re blaming them for things they have no power over.

No.

It requires you to stop voting for broken promises and excuses.

Trump would be worse on all metrics you mentioned.

And exactly the same as Biden in nearly all of them.

LOL

That was helpful. Thank you.

It’s an unfortunate feature that all dogs must eventually ascend to godhood. May their passage across the rainbow bridge be a happy one.

That’s a very happy thought. :)

The cruelty is the point.

Make the doctors afraid to treat people and they won’t. They’re probably all still in debt from medical school, thus magnifying the risks of defying the state.

People literally die horrible deaths because of the “lesser of two evils”.

I’m not sure how bad it’s going to have to get before Democrats will vote Green, but I get the sense that by the time they’re willing to do so it will be too late anyway.

FlashMobOfOne,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

So you write them in and encourage everyone you know to do the same.

@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Bernie had it right, we have to save the Dem party before we can use it to save the country.

After seeing what happened to Bernie, I find your assertion to be completely unreasonable.

You have to divorce yourselves from the Dems and their dark money if you want meaningful change.

Oh man, these kitties’ whiskers are just luxurious.

FlashMobOfOne,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Correct.

Didn’t the state basically re-elect everyone who oversaw that shit show?

FlashMobOfOne,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

It’s almost scary to think of how bad it would have to get in order for voters to tick the boxes for Greens or Libertarians.

Like, how badly do these fuckers have to fail before you’re willing to shed your partisan jersey and vote to your own benefit?

Partisanship is a hell of a drug.
