    To fight this, your suggestion is…… to do nothing.

    Honestly, doing nothing by way of a General Strike would have a much more powerful impact on the political system than watching the poll results roll in from your gerrymandered district and disenfranchised neighborhood.

    I wish more people would consider Walks-Outs, Sick-Outs, and Administrative Lock-Outs as tools of political change.

      No it wouldn’t. The only shit that matters in elections and the democracy is VOTES. Your half assed 2 day max protests do jack shit if votes don’t come out.

      This has to be some Russian psyops that has convinced leftist that voting is bad. Holy shit. I’m so blackpilled at this point Jesus. Also gerrymandering? Literally doesn’t matter for presidential runs. At all. Holy fuck the way fascism wins is because people choose to do nothing. Tale as old as time. The burden of democracy is that we have to constantly vote and keep authoritative regimes from rising. Choosing to do nothing is literally the same, to facist, as voting for them.
