Welcome to all not wanting to vote, not able to vote or just annoyed by the US presidential election taking over Lemmy and other social media.

Coming here to argue about voting will result in a ban.

Be kind to each other & follow the server rules.

Be specifically aware that not everyone here is from the so called USA.

Please, tell me more about how I feel about Donald Trump getting a second term. I'm sure making me feel guilty over something I have literally no power to affect will encourage me to waste time on empty virtue signaling instead of using my political and social energy more productively.

You don’t have a vote? Or a vote has no effect.

Liberals are perfectly fine with "reasonable politics" shifting ever more to the right, as long as it's a slow process and is headed by a Democrat, never mind we are 6 months into a genocide.

To use their political power and getting organized is too much to ask of them i guess.

Even when leftists are clear about this, they consistently conflate asking for political activism or working outside of the system, for voting 3rd party or refraining from voting at any cost, this paints leftists as purists and impossible to work with.

When the next election is coming by, with a democrat worse than Biden, will they keep voting the same? will the justification still be the same?

If those millions of libs joined the George Floyd rebellion of summer 2020, it might have been possible to get rid of Trump (and any president) for ever. They sure must like Trump being in power! /s
