Well we got here because Republicans have a locked in voting block who votes for them no matter what in primaries/general elections, which has resulted in our slow descent into fascist policies.
There absolutely should be protests and other forms of political action, but progressives constantly finding reasons to abstain from voting is exactly why we’re in the political climate we find ourselves in.
Being present during every election and voting for progressive candidates at the state level is the only way to get us out of this long term. If that wasn’t the case, the fascists wouldn’t be constantly trying to induce apathy by convincing people voting is pointless/rigged.
but progressives constantly finding reasons to abstain from voting
Name the reasons
Wut? You’re in a thread filled with people saying they’re not voting at all and I’m responding to a comment that reiterated just that!
Quit being obtuse. I left reddit cuz it was impossible to have a genuine discussion about hot button issues…real sad this topic has exposed that lemmy is full of the same crop of people.
How about you quit being a fucking stooge?
You’re having a fucking whinge about “progressives” who won’t “vote blue no matter who”.
How about the Biden administration not fucking fund a genocide? Why is that such a fucking hard ask? Why is that progressives fault?
