Alt text: a screenshot of a microblog post with the text “you walking down an alleyway with a gram of weed in your pocket, who would you rather catch you?” Below are two pictures side by side. One of Kamala Harris and the other of Batman.
And her opposition is a fascist, a felon, a liar, and a seditionist who hero worships dictators.
The choice is clear.
That doesn’t make her less of a cop though. I don’t even understand your response. You get mad at people trying to push for progress because… Trump is a fascist? I don’t know, your argument doesn’t make sense.
My choice is easy, because I’m unable to vote due to voter disenfranchisement! But even without that, I’m a chronically ill trans person. I’m unable to get my basic, uncontrolled medication or my HRT because of regressive transphobic and ableist policies that are being made every single day. I don’t really care if it’s Trump or Harris overseeing the trans people being murdered, unhoused, and forced to go without health care.
Exercise your vote how you wish, but voting is the bare minimum and some of us can’t even do it. Go buy a trans person a pizza or a night in a motel if you want to make the world a materially better place.
You’re getting a one day ban for electioneering.
enforcing a ‘don’t talk about voting ever, only encourage not voting’ anarchist community is sus af. not voting isn’t gonna make the govt disappear. not voting is just laying down and saying ‘do with me what you will’. not voting, especially from anarchists, inevitably gives more weight to explicitly fascist votes. i’d like a world without goverment as well, but we aren’t gonna get there not voting nor by banning people from anarchist spaces who advocate for slowing the rise of more violent fascism. material conditions, bud.
Yeah… That kind of action does not really say “acting in good faith” or seem like supporting anarchic philosophy.
“Anarchism is when vote”
In some forms, when needed, yes. See: anarcho-syndicalism.
What is contrary to most anarchic philosophy is using power over others to suppress voices that express dissent in good faith. In fact, I can’t think of a branch of anarchism where that’s not outright contradictory to central tenets of the philosophy.
Yes.
But how does that even resemble the electoral system we have? I don’t tell people to vote or not & I don’t tell people who to vote for. You all can decided that for yourselves, I’m not your master. The no electioneering rule exist for a few reasons one being to stop drive by comments from people who have zero interest in anarchism from overwhelming people who do & it’s not uncommon in anarchist spaces.
Yes totally that one rule in this little corner of Lemmy is totally the driving force behind the rise of fascism.
ok so just being an obvious weak ass troll now. blocking this garbage account and community.
Oh no, please don’t do that
This is the same problem that libertyhub has, its sus as hell there too.
I get not wanting straight propaganda or canvassing, but no one is allowed to push back when you say don’t vote? Its just sucks :/
Who said don’t vote?
Edit: I don’t tell people to or not to vote you’re all grown up people that can decided that for yourselves.
