Hey do y’all fucks remember two years ago when just before the election all these “don’t vote both parties are bad” or “vote independent!” Posts were going around and then Trump won and now two weeks before midterms there’s all these “don’t bother voting, revolution is the only way!” And “your vote isn’t gonna matter and is an ineffective way to protest” posts are going around? Yeah knock that shit right the fuck off, don’t fall for it and get your ass to the polls, we are not doing this again.
“I know voting can be a pain in the ass, so just pretend like, if you don’t vote, children will be ripped from the arms of a parent who crawled across a desert to give them a better life and put in cages.” (Laurie Kilmartin)
hey remember how the democratic candidate won but still isnt the president? and remember how that has happened at least two other times in US history including one infamous case where the supreme court inserted itself into the vote despite not having any constitutional power to do so?
yeah. vote for democratic candidates and stuff if you have the luxury of voting. if you don’t tho? don’t let a bunch off centrists make you feel bad for not participating in a system that is rigged against you.
If you CAN’T vote, we understand, it’s not your fault. You NEED to work, or you CAN’T get to the polls, or you’re not ALLOWED to vote. Nobody is blaming people who don’t have the ability to vote.
If you DON’T vote, because you don’t think it MATTERS, or you just don’t CARE. Then you absolutely SHOULD feel bad, because you’re a lazy asshole and you’re a big part of the reason our democracy is falling apart.
As someone who’s reported alt-right harassment and rhetoric on various
social media sites and been told “there’s nothing here that violates our
TOS,” seeing what RPGnet is doing is a welcome breath of fresh air.
KIDS! In the US and elsewhere… older generations will use you as a prop but will work against making the world better for you, again and again. GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!
Please! Voting is super important and a right we need to make sure we’re using! There’s even early voting going on now so you can get it out of the way before November 6th!
