Some of the dumber white libs I've talked to honestly believe 51% of American voters voted for Trump 🤣

They don't know what voting does or how it works but they're sure it's the only reasonable solution!

It's funny how almost 20 million people less than in 2020 voted this time around (most of the missing voters being on the dem side too); people are beginning to realize we don't really have a say

And it seems like a lot of Americans don't understand FPTP or the Electoral College, or even the amount of voter suppression there is. Your vote only counts (and only maybe) if you live in a swing state. The votes in rural areas count for way more than in urban ones but those are already captured by R. Let's not even get into the other branches of government:

Landholders ought to have a share in the government, to support these invaluable interests, and to balance and check the other. They ought to be so constituted as to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority. The senate, therefore, ought to be this body; and to answer these purposes, they ought to have permanency and stability.

I mean this isn’t a “white lib” thing. Most people don’t want political violence or related.

[–] KelvarCherry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

except for all the white conservatives that stormed the Capitol on Jan 6th, 2021; commit acts of violence against Democrat politicians; make reports and call "wellness checks" on others; commit or support police brutality; defend ICE abductions and trafficking...

There’s over 200,000,000 white citizens. A few hundred doing dumb shit isn’t the entire group. Would you apply this way of thinking to other groups of people?

Weird how voting always seems to work for the right wing

Maybe voting would actually work if…you know…you actually voted

My mom said that you gotta vote if you want to complain and I do like to complain.

Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically. Not once. Ever.

The upside-down corpse of Mussolini might disagree with that

Yall know the reps and dems just place bids to decide who will run the country. Kind of like deciding who will host the Olympics or Super Bowl.
