minus-square@SoftestSapphic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•28 days agoI vote in every election but it sure as hell never feels like my vote does anything at all or is even recorded. TBH i don’t think there’s a way to vote our way out of a lot of our issues.
minus-square@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•28 days ago If voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal. ~ Emma Goldman Incidentally, a lot of US districts have made voting increasingly difficult to the point of illegality. But I rarely see Votey types grapple with that fact. They either dismiss the disenfranchised as lazy/stupid or ignore this cohort entirely.
