    Absolutely. So glad that under Biden the lives of many non white men got better.

    1. Police don’t attack black people anymore
    2. Abortion is now legal again thanks to Biden’s efforts
    3. Native Americans recovered so much of their land
    4. Puerto Rico got fully rebuilt
    5. There isn’t an army on the southern army calling itself “The Army of God”
    6. The country isn’t aiding genocide
    7. Americans can afford basic necessities even houses

    This country was ran so differently under Trump. I couldn’t even recognize it anymore. So different. Well, at least we know the secret that our two parties are so different. Stupid tankies and their talk of making things better.

      lol… thanks for illustrating my point.

      Those things have/haven’t happened under EVERY president. So therefore what you’ve done was given yourself (in your own ignorance) an excuse to never vote for anyone- EVER.

      what you kids need to understand is that it’s happening with or without your participation. At lease if you participate, you have a chance to reduce the potential damage.

      But you don’t care, do you? You’re too busy thumping your chest and suggesting dumb shit someone you didn’t know existed a year ago- wrote about book you never read.

          Yes, it is the problem. However, sitting on your hands and not voting?

          Show me an instance in history where NOT voting resulted in a desired outcome for those that didn’t vote.

          Just ONE.

            I do agree with you people should vote [but for a third party]. I misread your comment as basically saying “you people not supporting Democrats are just tankies doing a protest” which is nonsense I see all over Lemmy. I have seemed to mix up several topics. I do apologize for missing your point. Voting is important.

            Still:

            1. You agree that the meme says that voting is near useless (except it “helps certain minorities”).
            2. Then you agree with that minorities have the same issues no matter who gets voted in.
            3. Now I have to go look for a specific time where someone did not vote and was still satisfied with the outcome? Every election has those kind of people. Not all non-voters are mad at the results of every election.
            4. Voting for the MAIN two parties doesn’t improve the status quo.

              We’re in a vote to save democracy state right now. Any other time, or in times past- I’d be totally fine and completely understand third party voting. Hell, I’d support it as much as possible.

              Not now.

              We might be in the final moments of democracy’s life as we know it and I really wish people understood this enough to take it seriously.

              I can’t stand Biden to be honest with you. He represents something that Donta in any way- resemble the direction America needs to go in. But we’re beyond those things being relevant right now.

              Basically, what’s happening right now… is that we need to eradicate a cancerous tumor and all these kids want to do is cry about the side effects of the medication.
