Wanted to dunk on US voter participation, but got corrected.
Maybe the French wouldn't need to protest 24/7 if they actually voted. Like wtf is this XD
How are you famous for protests and revolutions, but don't participate afterwards XD
Look at the results: one of the lowest retirement ages is Europe, universal healthcare, very progressive tax system. Maybe if Americans disconnected Joe Manchin from the electrical grid and made Washington DC a no go zone once in a while they would actually get something done.
Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.
Yes, like the insurrection? Always remember, both sides can do that.
Edit: Oh so now violent revolution attempts are not OK.
All this guillotine and revolution rhetoric suddenly just memes? Like the slurs in ye' old gamer chats?
Then what is protest good for, if not getting votes?
Just like a hammer, political protest is a tool. Using a hammer to smash a nail in a wall: good. Using a hammer to smash someones brain in: bad.
