GUYS.
WE NEED TO VOTE.
I cannot stress this enough.
VOTE.
THE FATE OF DEMOCRACY DEPENDS ON YOU WALKING INTO THAT BUILDING AND FILLING IN A LITTLE CIRCLE.
VOTE FOR THE LESSER EVIL.
NO, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND.
THE LESSER. EVIL.
I’M FOAMING AT THE MOUTH.
I’M SHAKING.
I HAVEN’T SLEPT IN 72 HOURS.
WE NEED TO VOTE.
DID YOU VOTE YET?
WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS?
GO VOTE.
WE NEED MORE VOTES.
VOTE HARDER.
I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU VOTE HARDER BUT FIGURE IT OUT.
VOTE WITH MORE INTENSITY.
VOTE AGGRESSIVELY.
VOTE SO HARD THE BALLOT MACHINE STARTS CRYING.
WE NEED TO VOTE.
WE MUST VOTE.
VOTE.
VOTE.
VOTE.
Then there’s rampant xenophobia towards foreigners pointing out how little sense this makes.
It’s rampant xenophobic accusations against citizens who say so, too.
Or saying they’re bots.
Yes, these people need a new repertoire. This one’s rather worn.
I’M FOAMING AT THE MOUTH. I’M SHAKING. I HAVEN’T SLEPT IN 72 HOURS.
Is this before or after you voted?
Billions must Vote
MY BODY IS READY TO VOTE
We’re gonna…
If you don’t vote you’re basically Hitler don’t you know?
I like how it’s always just “vote” never what or who to vote for, just the singular act of “voting” is going to solve all of our problems as if it’s a magic lever that immediately vanquishes whatever ills society may have. Never mind if someone votes “wrong” just the mere act of “voting” is all that’s needed.
Democracy for workers begins and ends at the ballot box; it comes and goes in a moment. For the bourgeoisie and capital, it remains an unchallenged, continuous process with hardly a temporal break.
Democracy for workers isn’t a process that grants us the ability to interact with our material world at every stage of development and guide it to conditions favorable to us. Democracy for the bourgeoisie exists in precisely this manner, that is why they can achieve what they want.
this makes me want to rip out someone’s throat and strangle them with my teeth
I think you need help.
Actually, sensible reaction to most of societal ills. We’re gonna need a lot more people like this if you want anything to get done. From my experience, a lot of orgs need more “head-crackers”.
Nevermind then, be as unhinged as you want. It’s not like I don’t get the feeling myself from time to time (and by “from time to time” I mean when I see anything that even slightly damages my psyche).
It’s all about timing. Doing this in front of a bunch of new reps from the org you’re working with probably isn’t a good idea. I think people should be free to be unhinged on boards or in familiarity with other comrades.
One of the best ways I’ve turned death threats around is being equally as unhinged and sending them photos of their family or close friends. Doesn’t take long to de-anonymize these days. We all can fuck around, can’t we?
me when the supposed left wing around me gathers around to support a merc (they weren’t even from Maine)
it’s normal and healthy to fantasize about doing such things to enemies of socialism imo but i appreciate the concern
In Jimpalaya’s defense you just said “someone’s” throat, you didn’t specify. But yeah, violent fantasies are normal, I’ve studied this.
Okay. I will. Voting is like a chess game; you make the right move at the right time.
That aside, if voting really made a difference, they’d ban it.
