There comes a time when voting becomes silly and ineffective.
- jjice 3mo agoThat's the kind of mindset that helps lead to that situation.
- colordrops 3mo agoThis is the kind of mindset that has no grasp of the true nature of power and the political system.
- jjice 3mo agoSo you rather do nothing than something?
- colordrops 2mo agoNo quite the opposite. It says everything that you think the only alternatives are voting or nothing.
- operatingthetan 3mo agoVoting isn't some vanguard against political corruption. Voting can and is easily manipulated with completely legal means.
- wesleywt 3mo agoNot voting does absolutely result in political corruption.
- NonHyloMorph 3mo agoBoth are not logically exclusive assumptions
- RobLach 3mo agoVoting is always effective. In the worst case it communicates the magnitude of dismsissiveness while demonstrating your intention to claim agency.
- vjulian 3mo agoIn the worst case it generates symbolism; that is ultimately what you’re saying. That symbolism is akin to prayer. I am not casting prayer in a negative light, I’m simply categorising your voting concept.
- yogthos 3mo agoAh yes, voting is always effective. Thank goodness people in Germany kept voting in the early 1930s. Imagine what terrible things might have happened if they hadn't.
- RobLach 3mo agoAgreed.
