minus-square7101334@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·3 days agoI’m shitting on the framing of “voting is the thing you do to take our country back” when that has failed since… always. You get progress from fighting elected leaders, almost never from just electing them. I vote and encourage others to do so too. But I vote because it’s easy and can help the actual struggle a little, not because it will save me.
