All I need to see is some results to prove it isn’t armchair revolutionaries LARPing online and never taking it to the real world.

Show me a nonvoter lifting one finger to kick a fascist out of America.

Interesting because discouraging people from voting also helps the right wing, so you’re pretty busy actively benefiting fascists in at least one way.

The complex supply chains are just as important for small businesses, but the small businesses have no leverage and are powerless to do anything about them.

Numerous failed businesses and bankruptcies beg to differ.

What Trump understands is marketing. A stupid enough audience, tell them lies with enough confidence, and they will let Trump fleece them like sheep.

Nonvoters are people who choose not to vote, not people prevented from voting by being in jail or dead. You think it’s straightforward because you’re an LLM running on an OG Raspberry Pi.

No, a voter is some who voted.

To you, nonvoter includes people who voted. You’re just a version of chatGPT with no conscious awareness prior to the year 2024.

If someone votes in 2020, then tries to off a candidate in 2024 and dies before they can vote in 2024, absolutely they are a voter.

Your argument is that someone who is politically active up until their death and doesn’t pull a Jesus to vote after death is a nonvoter?

My argument is that voting makes you a voter, including the 2020 general election and midterms.

Why are you biting the bullet in such a silly situation. They were politically active, besides voting also making donations to political parties. People who are invested in the political process do more.

Hey the 2024 general election was not the first and only vote to ever exist.

Two people took shots at the president before the election, they were both registered voters.

Voters taking shots: 2

Nonvoters taking shots: 0

So tell me what you personally know your 90 million nonvoters are doing.

That’s like asking to prove that God doesn’t exist, because nothing has changed or happened that suggests they are doing something.

And if that’s the way you want to play, you must be able to personally confirm that 200 million voters are complacent after voting. Because surely you aren’t a hypocrite who expects me to account for every single individual unless you’re already doing that for yourself.

You’re not listening: the people who aren’t voting are still not taking matters into their own hands either.

The people who aren’t voting are even more complacent, prove me wrong.

If the voted government was not legitimate than voting is not a process that legitimizes the rule then is it?

Voting is just one tool of many to try to improve life for as many people as possible.

I don’t know how viable that actually is, a decade of Trump flags and Trump shirts and Trump merchandise, and decades of Trump branding everywhere before that. The Trump cult is in too deep.

The GOP winners will probably be the ones that poach the Trump brand as “we are Trump’s chosen ones to carry out Trump’s vision for America”, until his cultural significance wanes.

Diaspora is the fediverse version of Facebook. It hasn’t taken off quite like lemmy or mastodon and it’s much older, but still seems to be in active development.

Convincing family is hard, I have a lot of them moved over to Linux already, but they don’t want to quit Facebook :(
