Attention #fediverse / #mastodon
We're entering #election season in the #USA. The #midterms
That means something for you:
You will see an increase in #trolls
Messages along the lines of
"Nothing ever changes, both sides the same, waah" #cynicism
And
"The candidate is unideal. Allow me to amplify and manufacture high holy outrage on the point" #perfectionism
All of which is designed to suppress the #left #vote and help #MAGA
You have been warned. Brace yourself

especially you american assholes
#fascism doesn't want you to vote
and, in your mindless #cynicism and loser #perfectionism, you give them exactly what they want
why?
fucking pathetic
of course you don't *only* vote
because this is a war, and a vote is just one small tactic on one small battlefield
but to ignore something so easy is just unfathomably stupid
because you think a vote is some holy thing that reflects on your soul?
😂
that's SO DUMB
it's just tactics
What's destroying our world?
What's the source of the madness devouring entire countries?
"I deserve it! Just because!"
Nonvoters don't have to #vote and the world will get better. #MAGA bigots just have to worship conmen and their life problems disappear
An endless parade of fools
No struggle. No effort. Just believe and it will be
Destroying societies. All the way down to cringe personal tragedies
Laid bare for the whole world to see, like some sort of sad performance art

" #BERLIN – Why are so many #Germans wringing their hands over Sunday’s #election in #SaxonyAnhalt?
After all, what impact could 1.7 million registered voters in this former East #German state have on a nation with 16 Länder (federal states) and some 60 million voters?
Why Sunday’s election matters
As it turns out, German voters in Saxony-Anhalt could give the #rightwing extremist #politicalparty, the Alternative for #Germany, or #AfD, its most significant achievement since its founding in 2013.
Although the AfD is predicted to win only 40 percent of the #vote, that would be enough to affect upcoming general local elections in #LowerSaxony on Sept. 13, and elections in the state of #MecklenburgPomerania and the city-state of Berlin on Sept. 20." 😬
@mike805 @juergen_hubert @elala
revolution if people don't #vote
cosplaying dipshits look forward to it
but:
1. decades away
2. vast suffering making suffering now look like utopia
3. revolutionary leaders are as imperfect or worse than shitty candidates. revolution is not a magical cleansing hand of ideological purity. gullible idiots believe that! 😂
4. the winners could be worse
5. if democracy wins the same perfectionist losers will go "i'm not voting," again. fascism creeps in, again

We make this mistake every election. Let me explain to you why I am now making this mistake. Lol. 🙄
"Every #election year, somebody tells us that the #Jewish #vote could decide the election.
I have usually been skeptical.
#American #Jews have a tendency, perhaps an understandable one, to overestimate our centrality to American #political life. We are, after all, only a little more than 2 percent of the #American population. Millions of Americans are not sitting around waiting to see how the Jews of #Westchester, #BocaRaton or suburban #Detroit vote before deciding the fate of the Republic.
But 2026 may be different. Not because there are suddenly more Jews.
Because American #politics has become so closely divided that a relatively small group of voters can exercise influence far beyond its size if three things are true: they vote in large numbers, they are geographically concentrated, and they live in places where elections are close."

The only way I see the political problems starting to heal in the United States is if US Republicans start say things like "Democrats are our friends. We're all in the same boat."
After over a decade of burning bridges and building walls, US Republicans may never again arrive at this obvious conclusion. #MAGA only operates without dignity for others or anything that resembles a structure in #oath.

#Voter #suppression #disenfranchisement is very real in the #USA
What kind blows my mind is the reaction from some whiny cynical types: "that's why I'm not #voting"
😂
What?
Somebody malicious wants something from you, so you give it to them?
I also don't endorse this guy's response, but I give him points for attitude:
Don't get sad and resign
Get mad and act
(And by act, I mean many things, but you still #vote, dum dums)

What is it actually like to vote in an Israeli election? 🗳️🇮🇱
Not the headlines. Not the analysis. The real thing. The paper slips, the blue envelope, the little booth, the walk to the polling station in your neighborhood. It works nothing like it does in America, and most people outside Israel have never seen it.
I am taking you inside the whole experience from a voter’s point of view, with the Hebrew you would actually hear and use along the way.
Democracy in Hebrew, from the inside out.

Thank you
What you're sick of is the lazy, whiny resigned #entitlement
But I think this era is passing
This is what #ElSayed means to me
People are beginning to understand. You need to fucking #vote. And they are!
The era of sitting on the sidelines and smugly judging to tweak one's ego is coming to a close
#DSA is going to take over the #Democrats and anyone not on board and voting is a fucking loser, and everyone knows it now
the problem is that americans are entitled, lazy
we have no culture of a general strike like france, for example
what we have is a culture of cynical loser "that won't change anything, let's go to taco bell instead"
i don't have a solution. well i mean i do:
fucking #vote! engage
but people are unaware. they need to grow awareness
and unfortunately for those of us who can see, the obstinate willfully ignorant shitbags insist on learning the hard way: more suffering
@gooba42 @majorlinux @obscurestar @Robotistry @ariaflame @aaron
some of these fucking #revolution cosplayers have no fucking clue they'd be dead in the first fifteen minutes
they think revolution is some magical cleansing hand of god
no
it's the same fucking thing we have with the #vote:
imperfect, dirty, nasty factions that you have to get over your #perfectionism about and choose a side
just with a lot more fucking blood. and less ability to not participate
fucking idiots

After James Talarico accused Ken Paxton of committing voter fraud, ProPublica and The Texas Tribune found that the Democratic Senate candidate may have voted in up to five elections using an address where he no longer lived.

you're trying to play shell games to hide the obvious lesson:
nonvoters and MAGA gave us #trump
just admit it
we can't work on MAGA, they are bigoted pieces of shit, mind controlled zombies, toxic waste to ignore
what we do is we work over the nonvoters
attack their loser psychological failures (we don't coddle them, this is codependent enabling)
we increase the #vote, and we win and defeat #MAGA
#ElSayed is a powerful marker on this journey
The whole country is watching the polls today. Michigan. Missouri. Kansas. Virginia. Washington. Huge stakes, and history being written in real time. 🇺🇸
So I went to my chalkboard and filmed a quick Hebrew lesson on the language of politics, elections, and democracy. Because these are words worth knowing in any language, especially now.
Whatever you believe, wherever you stand, come learn a little Hebrew with me today. 🇮🇱
Watch, and drop one word you would want to know in Hebrew below. 👇
let's review two things people still struggle with:
1. not voting only helps #MAGA
it does not improve anything nor convince anyone. it only serves your selfish entitlement and smug self-gratification
2. a 3rd party #vote in our shit #FPTP system only helps MAGA
it divides the left vote. it's just math
we have to take over the #Democrats
it's the only way
And look!
people are beginning to get it 😁:

In case you missed it:
Ken Paxton vowed to “stop at nothing to uncover and stop any illegal voting activity.” But experts say he may have violated state law by using an address where he no longer appears to live to vote in six elections in two years.

NEW: Ken Paxton Vowed to Crack Down on “Illegal Voting.” He May Have Violated Texas Election Law.
The Texas attorney general appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite his warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.”

But even Christians have their idols (dogmas, creedos, liturgies, customs, rituals) that blind them to the one and only one truth.
"My people perish for lack of knowledge ..."
Instead many Christians believe they have chosen the right narrow path, which is just one lane in the broad road superhighway to hell.
Real democracy for electing rulers is done by lottery, not by party ballot. Every citizen puts a name in the ballot box and then a random name is selected, and the candidate is examined. If the candidate passes muster, then he is the one put in the office. No campaigns, no campaign finance, no speeches, none of that garbage has any place in actual democracy.
The Bible has multiple instances in the law of God for casting lots (lottery) to choose a leader or successor for an office. That is real democracy. The Greeks called ballots for party or public candidate by a Greek word: Oligarchy.
Everyone who calls elections by the name of democracy doesn't know what democracy is. Democracy is not the 'choice of the people' but rather the 'random choice of God' from among the people. This is how the Greeks and Israelites originally practiced democratic elections. The idea of 'running for office' was anciently seen as a form of insurrection or oligarchy, not democracy.
