No.

If you must vote and vote for the "correct" party then you don't have a democracy. Either we exercised our democratic responsibilities this year or we lost our democracy a decade ago and we're just now finding out about it.

Either way, lesser evil voting is not a democratic ideal.

Is this an anti-democracy post? Is OP saying people shouldn't be allowed to vote...?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

No he's saying we must vote for one of the two parties, thereby manufacturing consent for whatever they decide to shovel down our throats.

And you're here trying to tell people to either not vote or vote third party and any time someone points out that just was the death of America you have to deflect. You're reliable to do it in every thread. It is gross.

Hahaha no. First of all, politicians have used that bit of PR in every election I've ever seen. So that might be a clue as to why you ran around shouting about it and people were like, "yeah, and?" Secondly, I actually shut up about it before the election.

Oh so you're one of the non voters who helped Trump win?

Oh so you're the guy who makes assumptions that make you feel more comfortable.
