Political Memes

I'm just gonna leave this here: https://www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won/

There is evidence to support widespread vote suppression is occurring by "vigilantes" knocking people off the voter registry amongst other tactics

so true.

While some people don’t vote out of apathy, others are a target of indirect disenfranchisement that prevents the working poor from voting.

Second highest turnout in history, but yeah, the non voters are the real issue here. Libs are so privileged they can't even imagine people living from paycheck to paycheck. "Just vote, you losing your job and becoming homeless is worth it for democracy".

The results at my last city vote was depressing. We had 20% turn out. Twenty! And we have mail-in by default here

Thankfully the people who did vote voted for the positive changes we need but it's not hard to imagine how easily 20% of the population can be easily swayed

As an old leftist i find that the young American left is hyper focused on punishing politicians based on things that should be, not based on how things are.

Yes it would be nice if the world was like you want it, but it isn’t. Voting the lesser of two evils is just how most of us around the world do it.

But an example is the whole car free/anti car thing, Yes that would work if cities had adequate transit and service, but they don’t, and they won’t in my lifetime. It would be nice but it’s not going to happen, ever. So I may as well just vote for the candidates who fund transit instead of trying to find a candidate who is yelling about being anti car
