If you don't vote you're assenting to whatever the majority decides.

[–] HiddenLychee@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Let's be honest, the majority don't get to decide around these parts

[–] trafficnab@lemmy.ca 0 points 8 months ago

Then in some cases (the Republicans have won the national popular vote once in my lifetime, I'm almost 30) you're assenting to whatever the minority decides, which is even worse

And if you vote for red or blue you are supporting a corrupted criminal murderer with blood on his hands

[–] Mastengwe@lemm.ee -3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Nope. You’re not.

No one should believe this propaganda. EVERYONE needs to vote this year like their life depends on it- because for many minorities, and the LGBTQ+… IT DOES.

Nope. You’re not.

Yes you are, both red and blue ceos are corrupted criminals if you vote for them you are supporting them. If hitler says they want to give money to beggars that does not change that they are evil and their agenda is bad for the world. These parties have been in power for the past century and both the ceos are in their 70s, what were they doing when their party was in power decades ago and not giving a shit about LGBTQ+ rights?

EVERYONE needs to vote this year like their life depends on it

People in gaza and in the middle east are dying right now by the thousand.

How so? Logic? Reason? All things empirical?

I’m. Not saying genocide isn’t happening, I’m saying Biden isn’t doing it. Try and keep up.

And know what else is on Wiki?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptilian_conspiracy_theory

Don’t use it in an argument.

this impugning of wikipedia is intellectually dishonest and lazy, to boot. reading the entry this user posted will give you an understanding of the conspiracy theory that he is pigeonholing with the accusation of genocide. one of them has merit, and the fact that both of them have explanatory articles in an encyclopedia does not undermine the content of either of those articles. i encourage everyone to read the reptillian article first, to establish an understanding of the editorial standards at wikipedia. doing so will give you a good grasp of how to approach the article linked by index@shitjustworks

this impugning of wikipedia is intellectually dishonest and lazy, to boot.

Wikipedia is public, updated and cross checked with multiple sources. Something dishonest and lazy are these fools that don't even bother reading a wikipedia page when it is linked.

you are ascenting to the majority decision if you DO vote

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There's a difference in between being able to say "I voted against this" vs not.

[–] wakumul@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

if it's wrong, it's wrong no matter how or if i voted

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So do what you can to prevent as much wrongness as you can.

[–] wakumul@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

i'm not going to vote for joe biden. i'll vote for jill stein or cornel west, but not joe biden.

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

GO AHEAD! THROW YOUR VOTE AWAY! AH HA HA HA HA HA!

[–] wakumul@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

i just said i'd be using it, not throwing it away.
