Voting is one of many tools at our disposal - and right now we need all the tools we can get.

So, don't shit on voting - do vote!

Do the other things too, but don't skip the vote.

Vote in the preliminaries, where you can select which bag of shit you'll get to vote for officially. You may even end up with a decent choice on election day off your area is dope like NYC or Seattle.

Even if you're stuck in the cousin-fuckingly-deep south like me, where your vote will almost certainly be washed out by a horde of Nazis: still do it. Especially in smaller elections - school boards, city level stuff, whatever you can get in on. Those are the ones where you can really start to turn the tide. All it takes is for the usual rednecks to start feeling apathetic, and a handful of us bleeding-heart-commie-socialist-hippie-libruls to step up, and BAM, we've got a progressive oasis elected in our desert of red. Which still isn't much, but it's a foothold.

But it does require us to do the bare-assed minimum amount of effort in support of change, which is to vote.

You should definitely vote but it shouldn't be the only thing you do.

Now's not the time for that we can't afford four years of Vance. We need to hold our noses and vote for Skeletor so we can stop the spread, then focus on progressive issues

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago

Skeletor, we want to vote for you so Vance doesn't win, but stop supporting Hordak destroying Eternia

Skeletor: Hordak has a right to defend himself
