      The US isn’t a democracy. Its rare for people’s votes to lead to positive outcome.

      People should vote, but they MUST do direct action to bring about positive change, especially for fighting systemic & entrenched racism. That’s more important

        I’m sorry that taxing and auditing the rich, getting paid sick leave to railroad workers, expanding healthcare coverage to millions of americans, keeping literal nazis who set up illegal tents and cages out of power, etc aren’t “positive outcome” to you.

        Just so we’re clear, everything happening right now is happening because millions less people voted in 2024 than in 2020.
