    I don’t think people want a dictator lol, and you think Trump won’t be elected if 90% attends but this is not the case either. It changes nothing, and it makes people numb, by forcing them to wait for votes. You should not care about votes but care about actual changes.
    In Turkey, the election results are again 52-48 percent, similar to US elections. And I promise, the next one will again be 52-48 percent, because this is the best ratio to make people argue with each other. They intentionally make this ratio by the power of their propaganda.





  • I don’t get it, you think unions and voting are tightly coupled or something? Trump won, let’s stop unions? Kamala won, let’s recreate unions hurray!
    One success of voting might be Mamdani, but he still doesn’t talk about wealth tax, he still will not improve your lives either. We will see. Only people can make a change, no politician will care about you, unless you are lucky.


  • Democracy works, but voting is a tiny fraction part of democracy. Unions, free speech, liberated media is what makes democracy important, and guess what. We don’t have liberated media, free speech, and even unions anymore and we still think voting is important. It is not! It even makes everything worse for the people. We are postponing our problems to elections and we blame people who vote, for the evil things that political people make.

    I don’t understand, Trump is heading us back, he came with voting, and you say voting keeps him out of office. He literally came there by voting. You are telling me, voting prevents fascism, while voting takes them to the power. I really don’t understand.
    Solidarity, unions keep them out of office, while voting is what makes them be in power.

    You are using oxygen very well, so you elected Trump. That’s great. Bravo!
    Did I tell you do nthing? I told you to stop voting and actually do something. You are telling me, no we need to vote lol

    And what will that do? It will do 1000X more things than voting and thinking you are changing something lol

    I dont need help, but you need. I still dont understand how you think your vote matters.
    It is so easy to elect anyone you want:
    Check survey results Increase propaganda
    Lie about the other candidate Lobby and bribe
    Use social media, TV, newspapers to increase popularity of your candidate
    Tell the other candidate is t.rrorist, scare people, increase division within community, make people fight each other.
    Check survey results again, and make sure you win by a little more votes, so that people will fight each other.
    Tell people every vote matters, make them think voting works.
    Give money to popular people in social media to tell people vote for you.
    It is so easy.

    Give me 100B dollars, I can elect whoever/whatever one wants, while you still think your vote matters.

    My vote has no effects, your vote has no effects. You get the propaganda from TV, social media, billboards and you think you are choosing the leader, but they actually choose the one they want by making you vote for them.
    If you are a political candidate, you need zero talent, all you need is media. Give me media power, and I can make people choose a monkey.
    Less shitty one is the same, it just seems to be less shitty. They are played by the same guys. Even if they are not currently played, they will be played. Do not except anything from politics. Create a solidarity, boycott everything, go on strike.
    So, voting makes you think something will change and postpones everything.

    You still think Kamala and Trump are in different teams. You still think Trump decides what America does. Let me tell you what would happen if Kamala wins: they would do the same things, people would say “if Trump won, this wouldn’t happen” and you would still fight people online, rather than planning a strike while they do whatever they want with the power.
