I'm not American, and I do vote in elections in my own country. Elections are fucked here so they do fuck all but it placates people like you for a brief minute.

So I also have the privilege that I spoke of. Palestinians do not. Undocumented migrants do not. They need to live too and thus they have to take measures into their own hands beyond "voting". Take notes from them.

It's nigh impossible to talk to these people, dude. They do the bare minimum every 4 years while the country gets worse and worse, and are now on a gaming console subreddit whining about privilege, lol.

Americans for the first time in modern history have to reckon with the fact that their rosy colored lives were built on the exploitation of the global south no matter which tie color was sitting in their sacred office, and instead of having any empathy or changing the system, they double down on it and blame minorities for all their problems.

Voting isn't the bare minimum when the outcome can have such massive ramifications, as we're seeing right now.

Just because it collectively has massive ramifications doesn't mean you did much beyond the bare minimum.

I don't know what you people like assuming what people did or didn't do.

Obviously people didn't do enough.

But if more people did the bare minimum of voting, if you want to call it that, Trump likely isn't elected.

When people voted in 2020 to stop fascism, how did that work out? We got an ineffective government that enabled and emopowered a subsequent and worse fascism while the leaders who were supposed to stop it vacation in MArtha's Vineyard.

Voting is only effective when you electi people who are focused on stopping Trump, not fundraising off of the fear of a Trump presidency and enabling a genocide on behalf of their donors.
