FAQ
Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?
A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.
Abstaining does not mean "you are okay with either option" abstaining is a vote for people not having a choice.
Idk if it is same in us, but we have what is called blank voting, which is a vote that could be that. But not voting is a fascist statement.
The US doesn't have a parliamentary system. It is winner take all. There are no votes of no-confidence. There are no coalition governments. The winner of the electoral college which is NOT popular vote gets full control with no oversight.
If you vote for a party that does not win, you get zero representation, not partial or proportional representation.
So abstaining truly does mean you don't care.
I don't even think it's a democracy
It most definitely is NOT. It's a oligarchian theocracy at this point and deserves to crumble.
Could you clarify how not voting is specifically a fascist statement?
Like what if there aren't any fascists on the ballot? Or why would not voting only be a vote towards fascism rather than towards libertarian, anarchism, moderatism or any other kind of "ism" out there?
Because you wish people had no say in how they are ruled
That's interesting! What county? How does blank voting work? I'm wondering how I'd do that with my US voting machine. Not that I would, but I wonder.
Sweden, there is a specific paper you take among the options that says blank vote, you can also put in slips with blank votes when there is options to check on a public vote and it will be tallied. When many blank votes are cast, it could basically invalidate any of the other options too meaning we need a new one
That's wonderful! We don't have that.
