[–] adubya@feddit.online 26 points 4 months ago (3 children) These Republican assistants start up earlier and earlier every year with their 'Don't vote' shitick. Notice how they never advocate for doing anything just making life worse for everyone. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml -2 points 4 months ago* (3 children) Fuck off, socialists and communists don't vote for right wing POS like Democrats or Republicans and this is a communist space. Democrats have made our life worse by lying about who they are. They don't care about the working class, they are owned by the same bankers, CEOs, and lobbyists that own Republicans permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] kandoh@reddthat.com 9 points 4 months ago (1 child) Go vote in a primary instead of being a doomer permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago I vote.

You think voting is the only form of working to change the world around you? What people on the left are telling you is that voting will not fix this. You better try something different. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Arcadeep@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 child) Referring to the guy saying he doesn't vote. Voting isn't the only way to affect change, and it's certainly not the only thing I'm doing about everything happening in the USA right now, but not voting because you just don't like either one is exactly how we got to the place we're in right now in the first place permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago Who said they dont vote? permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheFonz@lemmy.world 1 point 4 months ago You new to Lemmy...? permalink fedilink source parent [–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (2 children) socialists and communists don't vote for right wing POS like Democrats or Republicans As long as this is true, especially in primaries, then they will continue to ignore your demands. Not out of malice or even greed, but because a vote that categorically cannot be got must be ignored, since any effort spent trying to get it is wasted. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 point 4 months ago (1 child) A patently absurd comment when Republicans ran on affordability in 2024 and there was a red wave. And then Zohran ran on affordability in 2025 and demolished the centrists. And affordability = socialism to Democratic partisans. You should be posting this in 'confidently incorrect'. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 1 point 4 months ago Zohran is a Democrat. He won his primary because enough people who cared about his policies believed in him and voted for him. One without the other is useless. Getting people who care about socialist policies to get out in numbers and vote in primaries is how we force the Democratic party to become more socialist. If we took every self-described socialist in America and convinced them to either not vote, or only ever vote third party, then it would achieve the goal of handing more electoral power to Republicans. Engaging, voting in, and winning Democratic primaries is how to achieve the goals we want to achieve. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 1 point 4 months ago Then they can continue to lose. permalink fedilink source parent [–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 4 months ago They criticized my party and revealed their hypocrisy, reeeee they must be working for Putin, Trump, republicans, reeeee. The "do something" stage passed 50 years ago but yous decided to swallow the capitalists exceptionalism propaganda and demonized serving the public as "communism" or "socialism" and then collectively shuddered your head up your own ass. And NOW when you're reaping what you sowed, all you have is "notice they don't have a solution"? Who do you think we are, your shepherds where we're supposed to give you solutions for shit you made? You fucking idiots never learn and it shows. permalink fedilink source parent [+] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io -8 points 4 months ago Ah, yes, everyone who doesn't like my dear leaders is The Enemy.
