    Brother no one is saying to not vote. Why do you people always say that same bullshit line when it was never stated at all? We are still voting, but we’re also constantly trying to sound the alarm on the bullshit system we have all year long, not just around voting time. Liberals only seem to get in tune with politics around midterms, primaries and the presidential election. Leftists are out here constantly in tune with politics and are trying to organize year round, not just around voting schedules.

    If you can’t make an argument without putting words in other people’s mouths and making shit up, quit commenting like you’re some enlightened individual.

    We’re not telling people not to vote, we’re telling you to get politically active throughout the entire year, every year. Because this same bullshit will keep happening until the end of time if all you do is vote when you’re told to. Quit punching at leftists for calling out the systems we’re living under as unjust and start organizing with us to build a better system.

      There’s deadass people in these comments saying not to vote. I’ve seen them on other posts, too. Are you willingly ignoring them or just giving them a pass because they are mad at the people you’re mad at?

      Oh hey funny you mention organizing, that’s what I’ve been doing locally. I’m working with a group trying to improve things between Hispanic and non Hispanic people and actively doing stuff to help the community with ICE everywhere. I’d love to hear what you’ve been up to!

          Further, when people treat voting as their primary means of political engagement, they do check out!

          He’s trying to now say that it’s something different but it was pretty obvious in context.

            Since the very beginning of our conversation, I have maintained that the problem is not the act of voting, but instead treating it as the primary means of gaining political change. You have consistently misunderstood my point, deliberately or not.

            Lmao yeah you have no reading comprehension if that reads as someone saying “do not vote”.

            He’s literally stating what I said above, liberals are only politically active when they’re told to vote. They do not organize and don’t care to assist in organizing throughout the year. They check out and ignore everything until it’s once again time to vote blue no matter who!

            Jesus fuck you people are dense.
