boycotts and protests are actually great though. we can do it all when it鈥檚 not election season
This makes it sound like the people participating in protests and boycotts do not vote, which is untrue. In fact, I would wager that activists are one of the demographics with the highest voter turnout. Additionally, protests can actually help increase voter turnout by raising awareness of key issues.
Exactly. Protests and boycotts are much harder than voting. Yes, we got there because many people took democracy for granted and didn鈥檛 vote.
There are protests and boycotts, because that鈥檚 what鈥檚 left.
NGL I have a feeling the USA is going to triple down on fascism next year at the polls.
Republicans are absolutely fucking gutting this country like a pig and what is the left鈥檚 response? Record low approval for the DNC. If that doesn鈥檛 turn all the fucking way around then we鈥檙e all cooked, mate. It鈥檚 over.
Until the Dem politicians start putting their careers on the line, and the dem voters start doing something other than hoping someone else will do something, that鈥檚 pretty much it.
Didn鈥檛 anyone try auction flags?
Oh.
This is nonsense. Yes, we got here, because many people didn鈥檛 vote, but protesting, boycotting, resisting is what鈥檚 left of we want to keep democracy.
There鈥檚 nothing to vote right now, and likely elections in 2026 and 2028 won鈥檛 be democratic elections if this admin isn鈥檛 stopped.
You are correct. AND, I know many people who didn鈥檛 vote, either out of protest or inertia and now are full of civic engagement. If only they found the enthusiasm 6 months ago, we would not be in this situation
