    Weird how voting always seems to work for the right wing

    Maybe voting would actually work if…you know…you actually voted

      My mom said that you gotta vote if you want to complain and I do like to complain.

      Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically. Not once. Ever.

            Because people like you stayed home.

            You’re the reason for Trump, it’s your fault.

              Damn, I didn’t realize I - a non-eligible voter not living in a swing state - was that powerful. That makes it even more egregious that the Democrats didn’t try to win my vote. I personally chose who would win and they wouldn’t even not do genocide to convince me

          From another commenter: https://cmarmitage.substack.com/p/i-researched-every-attempt-to-stop

          Trump wasn’t full fascist yet in his first term. He was just getting the taste of that power.

          You could also believe the rumours that he only won the second time due to rigging and voter fraud. Something he constantly kept accusing the dems of. And we know how much he projects.

            I get it but do you actually think we won’t have elections in 2028 and that a democrat can’t win the presidency again?

            We just had midterm elections and democrats absolutely destroyed in almost all of them

            I know it’s mostly doom out there but this is absolutely not a full fascist takeover

          Which just resulted in a different fascist being elected, and then Trump got reelected anyway?

        And yet, we’re seeing GOP reps resigning in critical and contested seats that have been demonstrated to lean far more towards the Dems, especially when Dem-Socs are on the ticket.

        We shouldn’t just vote, but not voting will ensure we never get out of this mess.

        The MAGAts wouldn’t be trying every voter suppression trick in the book if voting wasn’t currently still a colossal threat to their power

      Americans: “Our FPTP two-party electoral college system doesn’t work. Clearly democracy doesn’t work.”

      Meanwhile in Canada we just voted for dental care. Europeans just voted to take on big tech corporations.

      I think the problem is years of “it’s not my job to educate you, sweetie”. Turns out it is our job to educate them. Because they vote.

      The right have gerrymandered and bet million bucks rigged the voting machines too. Always projection with them. Look at Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham voting districts. I read years ago that they have it rigged that they could never lose even if people voted.

        Those guys are senators. There are no voting districts for Senate elections. They are state-wide popular votes.

        Voting districts are relevant at the federal level for presidential and House of Representatives races.
