    Yeah, I’m on board with making voting easier for everyone. Voter turnout is ultimately the only way short of violent revolution to fix shit in this country.

    Voting is difficult enough for people who don’t vote conservative, which is why when leftists refuse to vote out of principle because their perfect candidates aren’t a choice, they’re figuratively stepping on the rake.

      Totally agree about voting and its need for ease. But I can tell you more leftists vote than don’t, I can promise you that. Systemically that’s not the biggest problem. And I certainly plan to vote and I won’t be helping Trump with it.

        I hope you’re right, but I’ll say that I’ve definitely seen more people in this election cycle say there’s no point in picking between two fascists than any other cycle I’ve been a part of. Especially here on lemmy

          Yeah totally. Social media is bashing and circlejerking, even in the open source spaces. Not the best lens into reality.
