The side that has nazis also has Donald Trump.

Go vote, but it’s worth remembering that for the most part, the other party only does milquetoast critiques of the Nazis at best.
and the right are pure nazis
You guys needs more options..
Ranked.
Choice.
Voting.
When nazis are involved any other option is 99% better. There is a lot of difference between 99% and 100% in a normal situation but the difference is virtually nothing when fascists get in the way.
You can't get out of one of Jigsaw's games by refusing to play :(
I mean, technically...
If only the corporate Dems were actually on the good side... Sigh.
At least they aren't openly nazis. When presented with two evils, pick the lesser. If you don't pick either, bigger evil benefits for you not voting rather than voting against it.
I know, it feels pointless when the opposition is only marginally ~~better~~ less evil. But I am reminded this one motivational speaker who told me you have to make it difficult as possible for them:
If enough people always vote for lesser evil, and demand justice and accountability, it accumulates. Sure, a political party may spend a minimal effort to brush the one protestor off, but many will be more difficult to ignore. Eventually they have commit political capital and resources to answer the dissatisfaction, even if it's to defend themselves. And those are resources they have to divert from the usual fuckupperies. At some point it will be easier to budge to the demand of a large demographic.
If a politician can ignore a demographic for free, they will. An act of small resistance is still resistance.
No corporation is ever on your side. There’s a reason why authors for decades have been writing dystopian books about them.
In person, I don't really see a whole lot of people in the US admitting or claiming that they didn't or don't vote.
I do, however, see a lot of life-long Republicans and known Trump voters making claims like "I don't really use social media" and "other than the weather I don't keep up with the news", both of which I know are lies in many cases.
However, giving them benefit of the doubt on that, they're admitting something equally as bad: They aren't educating themselves, they aren't informed on important matters, and facts do not matter to them. They're shirking their responsibilities.
Personally, I've always, always, always operated under the principle that our rights come with responsibilities, so I find it shameful that so many people are so negligent in that respect.
The one I hear the most is, "I'm an independent voter." The fools do not want to admit they believe in a pedophile, rapist and felon.
Democrats don't oppose Nazis. Chuck Schummer, Hakeem Jeffries and Ken Martin did not oppose the Nazis. they have no intention of fixing the system that let the Nazis in.
AIpac/billionaires wanted antisemitism to continue, because it gives the IDF legitimacy into continuing thier genocide, they use it as a shield so they dont have to face the consequences for it, since they call people anti-semeitic, censor university speech.
Yes, both parties suck, and you are allowed to dislike both, but they don't suck equally and not (completely) in the same way and you are obliged to decide for yourself which party sucks, which you dislike more, and most importantly - which are you more scared of getting into power.
Just because you don't want to be neither leftist nor rightist doesn't mean you need to aim for the dead center. That's as dogmatic as aiming for one of the extremes, and in fact dumber because it's not even motivated by any ideology.
What socialist progressives in the Democratic Party need to do is what the Tea Party Republicans did over 15 years ago. The whole party needs to be reformed from the ground up at every available primary. They’ll actually get shit done if they get the centrists and corporate boot lickers out of the party.
Also people who chase the word “moderate” because they desperately cling to the idea that being nonchalant in politics is a good thing are so focused on it that they will be a conservative just to avoid the leftmost party even if the left-most party is actually centrist.
Close to what you said, just exposes even more of how dumb it is.
As something of an anarchist, I never voted until the nazis became a big political force in my country.
Now I vote every election because by not voting I'm letting the nazis grow.
The democratic system gave up on serving the disenfranchised long before the disenfranchised gave up on the democratic system.
If you want to be angry, be angry at those protecting the system from change, not the people who have given up hope that it can be changed.
Be kind to people, be ruthless to systems.

i feel like i’m gonna be reposting this image for eternity
Psa: when reading the comments remember that maga want you demotivated and to stay home and just take it. Because they will vote, and they will not split their vote.
I've noticed both sides arguments have been most effective in convincing leftists to not vote.
But the right doesn't seem to be affected by it and comes out to vote consistently no matter what.
Aye. Funny, that.
Who nazis?
The US political system is so, so very broken and honestly needs to be built up from scratch.
Voting should be compulsory.
Voting should be accessible.
The bar for entry to run should be much lower and more accessible to people who want to run and make a change.
Preferential voting should be considered.
The people should have veto power over government if there is a vote of no confidence to allow a dissolution of said government and snap elections held to redistribute power in favour of the people.
And so much more. Like getting rid of gerrymandering, electoral college etc. So that the votes actually reflect what the people want. If the country is mostly progressive, then it moves in a progressive direction.
Etc. Etc.
