Voting blue didn't stop shit
(hexbear.net)
Thanks Dems for doing jack shit about abortion bans, trans bans, the cost of living, the drone strikes, global warming, COVID.
Might as well just call them Blue conservatives. The outcome of voting for them is much the same.
Voting as part of an ongoing, multi-faceted strategy of civic and social engagement is fine. Especially because there are times where it directly leads to positive outcomes, like state Constitutional amendments that check legislative power. Voting can instead be a method of organizing, where after the election you keep together and continue to be activists in more direct ways.
Ballot questions are under attack by Republicans in many states because they're the last remaining avenue for many political causes in the states that they've all but made themselves the single party dictators of.
Its sad how so many leftists have given up on voting, cause its not quick and sexy and all the choices suck. This pessimistic outlook gives the right more power and is so preventable. Voting for the lesser Asshole, dosnt hurt (to much).
Absolutely. Like, we should vote for the exclusive reason that a Democrat won't vote to pass a national abortion ban in a world without Roe v Wade. Democratic governors aren't ordering their CPS agencies to rip trans kids away from affirming parents or purging the state university system of leftists.
