You are literally the only new account I've seen recently that isn't actively trying to discourage people from voting. Good on you. For real it's like Lemmy is allergic to the concept that they should fuckin vote and if they don't vote, they're still responsible for who wins by not voting. Fuck. Sorry, the discourse here is fucking infuriating and I'm drunk, and you're a breath of fresh air.
Thanks every bit of encouragement helps when I'm wading through this echo chamber of ineffective commies and bots. I got banned from reddit for similar. I think the fascists are taking over the communities of naive lefties and turning them against the DNC so they can consolidate power. To be clear: I'm not a Democrat and I don't particularly like the Democratic Party, but incremental change isn't the same as Literal Fucking Fascism. If we can oust Democrats in primaries, we should. If we can't, we should vote for the next best thing. Or sometimes the next not-worst thing. It's not a hard concept.
Cheers I took the week off to prep for a big social event so I'll have an IPA in your honor!
