Voting makes you think your opinion matters while you vote, but it actually doesn’t matter. Voting makes you think you can change something, but it doesn’t change anything. Voting makes you think you should wait for a lot of time to change something in elections, while you can strike right away and shouldn’t wait for elections. Voting makes you think you are living in a free democratic country, but it is actually a monarchy and dictatorship.
Do you think the votes are really 49-51% randomly? Or do you ever think it might be intentional. They have all the media, all the power, they can make you think whatever they want.
What they do is, give you two shitty options, make you vote for them 49-51% and do whatever they want and make you fight each other while they are doing the things that you hate.
People are fighting like “if you hadn’t voted for this guy, that wouldn’t have happened” but it would have happened again, because the other side is also working for the same guys.
Do not vote. Do not wait for elections. Go on strike right away. Stop following media, stop following politics, if your life sucks nobody will change it but you.
The poor has no friends other than the poor. Do not become enemy to your poor/worker friend, even if they support the other political party, even if they are minority that you dont like.
Edit: I really do not understand. I told people we can elect a monkey if we had media, and they upvoted it: https://lemmy.world/post/43003985 While, when I tell people voting doesnt work and we should stop doing it, it is downvoted. This doesnt make sense. Media can make people elect a monkey, but we should still go vote??
nope. the invasion of venezuela and us cities would not have happened. there would be limits on aid to israel and continuance of the aid we were giving palestine before and diplomatic curbs like before rather than the green light to take it. also we would not be fighting economically with the world and thretening all sorts of other invasions.
You still think Kamala and Trump are in different teams. You still think Trump decides what America does. Let me tell you what would happen if Kamala wins: they would do the same things, people would say “if Trump won, this wouldn’t happen” and you would still fight people online, rather than planning a strike while they do whatever they want with the power.
as @sahin@lemmy.world said you are delusional. A kamala administration would be more of the same of the biden administration with maybe her trying to push for something for her to be known for. This is the most extreme version of all the same I have ever heard and im sorta glad to have seen it because it solidifies for me how irrational it is to take something like parties and politics and, because yeah, you have commonalities in like what a generic politician is like, obviously the different people and groups act differently. I mean this is the most significantly different that I know of for the two major parties.
Holy shit you are delusional or perhaps just so frustrated that your cognitive ability has evaporated.
You should probably take a break.
Okay, see you in the next elections while you cry you lost, thinking people were stupid but the problem is media is too powerful. Even if you win in the elections, you will still cry, dont worry. Nobody in politics is trying to improve your life.
It’s a sad state of affairs
Seek help
I dont need help, but you need. I still dont understand how you think your vote matters.
It is so easy to elect anyone you want:
Check survey results Increase propaganda
Lie about the other candidate Lobby and bribe
Use social media, TV, newspapers to increase popularity of your candidate
Tell the other candidate is t.rrorist, scare people, increase division within community, make people fight each other.
Check survey results again, and make sure you win by a little more votes, so that people will fight each other.
Tell people every vote matters, make them think voting works.
Give money to popular people in social media to tell people vote for you.
It is so easy.
Give me 100B dollars, I can elect whoever/whatever one wants, while you still think your vote matters.
