And that's what we all have to do, since voting doesn't fix 99% of the problems we need to solve. It's like trying to build muscle by studying math. Will studying math help you when you need to track your progress and understand angles and pulleys? Yes. But studying math isn't going to build muscle. Nothing is stopping me from going to the gym and also studying math, but studying math isn't actually the thing that will build muscle. Voting isn't solving any of our problems. Can it help a little bit with some of them? Maybe. But we need to be honest about what it will solve. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gmtom@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 child) Can it help a little bit with some of them?

But it's never stopped a war in 250 years. It's never stopped a genocide in 250 years. It's never liberated the working class in 250 years. It didn't give women the right to vote. It didn't give black people the right to vote. Honestly, I can't think of a single major policy that voting ever effected. Oh wait. I know why I think that. Because it's been empirically proven: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/article/abs/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gmtom@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago Oh yes, I agree that voting makes some difference Cool, thanks for agreeing with me :) permalink fedilink source parent
