If you don’t vote for Biden or Harris then you can’t be a progressive. Opinion based on history and scientific research. Case closed.
you can’t fix things by voting either it seems
Its science you tankies
the immortal science of voooooooooooting
yeah Rebecca Watson and Vaush made videos about the Naomi Wu story pretty fast, almost like it’s part of their job (to post anti CCP propaganda)
Naomi wu doesn’t even agree with their takes if you watch her videos. She seems genuinely very cool and her partner is Uighur and has an accepting family, conservative elements in Chinese (or any) society are a fuck
1. Wow I didn’t know there were governments in the world that didn’t exercise any authority.
2. I didn’t do any surface level research or ask any Chinese person about this to find out the thing I’m making a video about doesn’t actually exist, anyway let me Westsplain to you why this is popular with the hivemind orientals
4. Epic journalism, long live the empire, crush the global south, USA! USA!
5. BRUTALLY EXECUTES dissenter by FIRING THEM INTO THE SUN
The last thumbnail is literally
Also the mma guy is the Chinese equivalent of a new atheist. Yes he is right. Also he is an asshole. Like all truly great fighters he has emotional problems. If I recall he was actually punished for trying to fight people out of the ring. Which is just bullying and not cool.
He’s literally also free so the government did a pretty bad job if he’s still running around lol
I’m voting
.Within a neoliberal democracy, you can’t fix things without holding your elected officials accountable, and the only mechanism for holding them accountable is to vote or not vote. So by their own rules in their own system literally the only way to fix things is to not vote sometimes.
In 2020 I knocked doors non-stop for months for a Democratic PAC because I believed it might make things better and prevent fascism even though I personally did not like the candidates. I probably did more for the Democratic party than 90% of blue maga online hacks trying to shame the left for not voting for Biden and guess what, I’m still going to have to pay my student loans under his shitty government.
If anyone ever tries to shame me into voting for a Dem irl I’m going to spit in their face.
Libs love to make analogies for electorialism, so I’m gonna try and speak their language. Imagine you’re at a restaurant that only serves meat and you don’t eat meat. You were dragged there by an acquaintance who insists this is the only place in town you can eat.
You have this chat with the waiter.“I don’t eat meat”
“Well we only serve meat at this restaurant and you have to order something.”
“No I don’t.”
“You’re not gonna change anything by not ordering anything.”
“You could offer a non-meat option or even just serve me a side with the meat removed.”
“Do you hate democracy?”Wow this conversation is only a little bit less silly than the arguments for voting for a genocidal senile racist anti-abortionist union-busting SA-perpetrating pro-fracking warmongering politician who is too gullible to even be corrupt properly.
In America in the general election you vote for a lot more different positions than just the president. Depending on your state and locality you may have a few fresh plant-based options to choose from.
Making everything about the POTUS and only the POTUS is like only looking at the first two options on the menu and making assumptions about the last 50 items.
Wow it’s almost as if politics can’t be reduced down to simple personal analogies! Who woulda thunk?
That’s why I don’t usually like to go for analogies but since you are the analogy guy, I just built off yours.
Not a guy
I meant in the nonbinary sense but if that doesn’t work for your identity that’s my bad, my apologies.
Well, they could try giving nonvoters actual compelling options
Best they can do is say democracy will end unless you vote for them
They will attempt to be more appealing
Best I can do is saying you aren’t Black if you dont vote for segregationist
Just say it, not even actually believe it, in spite of clear evidence of multiple multi-decade plots on the right’s part to secure unshakable power and repeal the entire 20th century
You also can’t fix things by voting
Why aren’t you voting PSL, Americans?
I’m doing my part!
- I’m doing my part
They’re not on the ballot in my state, but I’m writing them in anyway
doomer
at least this shithead will boil to death with the rest of us
Ah yes you “fix” things by deliberately removing choices of parties and candidates from the ballot or “Set the Menu”.
Liberals cannot fathom having leverage over their party. Instead they must strategize as how to best get people to support it regardless of the awful things it does. This is smart thinking, in their view.
This years
?This has strong “please clap” vibes
