Voting does not take 10 minutes! First, Republicans are making it harder to vote early or by mail and closing polling stations so you have to wait in really long lines on a work day. Second, you should be taking the time to really research and understand everything on your ballot before committing to votes.
voting takes like 10 minutes
ahahahahahahahahahaha you haven’t seen the USA voting system lol. 2024 and its still not a federal holiday.
Aside from presidential elections, every election I took part of was in and out.
I still agree voting should be a federal holiday
Here’s a good article about voter suppression. This is an extremely serious prolific problem, often targeting minorities specifically. Republican states have deliberately been restricting access to voting for the past 2 decades and have succeeded in having hundreds of vote restriction bills passed. They are still actively doing this today.
They are still actively doing this today.
Here 8 months later just to tell you you’re right
take care
If voting prevents literal murder then both parties obviously don’t stand for the same values.
… or one party is more efficient at facilitating murder
Yeah one party is so bad they repeal things like DoMA while the other literally persecutes LGBT groups
And, who was it that signed DoMA into law? Ah, yes, Bill Clinton.
LGBT became good business so the Democrats jumped on the bandwagon. I’m glad they are on the right side, but they are followers, not leaders. They support the disenfranchised when it benefits their larger cause of shoveling wealth to the top.
Was DoMA not a massive improvement compared to the situation before?
Both parties stand for the same values? Lol, what?
You know, the values of keeping rich people rich and poor people poor.
Oh is that why Democrats keep promoting social welfare programs, social mobility, and public safety nets? Keeping the poor poor is more of a republican thing.
This is the game Republicans play, block any progress, then get blame shifted to Democrats for not implementing their goals. Prove government doesn’t work by making it not work, because the voters want it all immediately, regardless of procedure.
Democrats make plenty of policies that hurt poor and marginalized communities.

Perhaps, but pissing away your vote on a third party in a FPTP system is functionally no different to not voting.
I wonder if Trump hating conservatives are being told the exact same rhetoric. “Trump sucks but if you vote 3rd party you’re just giving Biden the election!”
both parties ultimately stand for the same values
This is an extremely privileged take. Yes, both parties support corporations and capitalism. However, one party also supports the eradication of people they don’t like. This is a very significant difference.
Both parties support the eradication of people they don’t like.
Who do the Democrats want to eradicate? Republicans are already very well-documented.
The ultra wealthy.

Be a lot cooler if they did
Let me think. Bombing Yemen Destroy Laybia Bombing Syria Bombing Iraq Bombing Palestine Bombing Yemen …
I think there is a pattern their but I can not tell exactly who they want to eradicate…
Palestinians…
Are they Americans? I’m sorry if it’s not the most sensitive take. But I vote for people that don’t DIRECTLY want others to die. Giving money is not as linear as they give weapons = they pull the trigger.
What did you just type?? Seriously, I’m including to screenshot your message and send it back to you in 5 years so you can realize how insane your current viewpoint is
It’s not insane to think taking care of our own house is a bigger priority than the rest of the world.
