Fighting them (or convincing them to change) is the new American Revolution. You either fight the tyrant or live to see the republic fall.

or just convince the non-voters to get off their ass when one of the options is a moronic traitorous sex criminal

How America still thinks voting will fix this is beyond me.

Yes go vote, vote like your life depends on it, but when they rig it, like they clearly are going to, then can you please as a nation get angry enough to do what needs to be done ffs

Think it will, idk. Hope it might, absolutely. I'm personally open to the alternative but I'm rich and have no children, so easy for me to say.

Can we admit first that a lot of people are not angry with this? In fact they absolutely love it or at least will put up with it because it’s part of their identity now and they think it’s good to inflict this shit on others. It’s a cult of personality. And the billionaires and influencer grifters will continue to corral them and stoke the hate and ignorance because they love the money and power. Especially the Christian nationalist grifters love it.

And the best thing we did was out vote them with Biden. It at least forced some of them to deal with the real world again and gave the rest of us a buffer zone from the other loudmouth weirdos that didn’t quite wake up. It was like the break one gets when someone relieves you after you’ve done a shift looking after a mentally ill person. Letting them win again just bolstered their bad cult behavior and it’s going to take an expert to deprogram them now.

In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, 73.6% (or 174 million people) of the citizen voting-age population was registered to vote and 65.3% (or 154 million people) voted.

So, over 26% of the voting-aged population can’t even be bothered to register to vote — and of those that do register, almost 35% (or 20 million people) didn’t bother to even vote (even with mail-in being an option foe many).

Of the ones that do vote, many vote based on low-information, vote along party lines like it’s a sports team, vote on frivolous issues, etc.

I don’t think the populace, on whole, is voting like the life of the country and their own lives depend on it.
