  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Ok fair, at least there's been revolutions.

I'm just saying that's how people are treating it. Why bother working for it when it's inevitable? "It'll come save us all" while ignoring the hard work and problems. Ignoring that long term permanent change is more of a result of boring, slow work.

Voting doesn't change anything, though, it contributes to the nothing changing if you think voting does anything. The gradual change you're talking about is organizing and building alternative systems of power so that in the future there can exist the basis of a revolution.

Cool, so you're doing that? Do think most leftists online talking about not voting are doing that? Most importantly, how exactly does voting once every 4 years for the least bad option materially hinder those efforts you're SURELY working on?

Voting does nothing and thinking it does something prevents people from moving beyond just voting.
