Not vote?! What?! That's crazy! You have to vote! That's one of the privileges of living in a democracy!
That's what some may think. And even, that voting is a responsibility or duty to keep democracy or freedom alive, or something along those lines. Well look around with eyes wide open, and you will see what you lifetime of voting has resulted in.
The same shit keeps going on in your name. Your taxes pay for the government, no matter what Party wins, to use it to fund the war machine. Money gets sent to support corrupt institutions and ways of life. And all you get to do is vote someone else who will just do things slightly differently.
Gotta pick the lesser of two evils, right? In a sense, yes, it's better to have someone that's less bad than someone who is more bad. If you don't want someone to win who you view has some particular plan that you don't like, then you want to vote for the other person. But overall, the war machine to murder people in foreign lands continues as resources are stolen from them for "foreign policy" and "national security".
Even if you point out the problems with government, or the whole political charade, you will often hear:
You can't complain about problem X, Y or Z, you didn't vote!
You can't complain about the government, you didn't vote!
Only people who vote have the right to complain, you didn't get involved!
Yes, simpletons, that's right, the one who didn't vote for slavery can't complain about the slavery they have been subjugated into because of those who choose to vote and keep slavery alive. Right. That totally makes sense.
That's what it comes down to. Some people see past the political game and going around in circles, and want it to end. Others, in their fear, can't imagine any other way for things to be, and want to keep the slavery of government going because that's all they can see as a possibility for a way of life. Anything else would be worse, so gotta keep the slavery alive because it's "safer".
With respect to Trump vs. Biden, they both suck, but the latter does indeed suck a lot more than the former with respect to supporting the massive scamdemic deception. Enjoy the greater slavery and loss of freedoms if you get Biden. State-dictated masks and lockdowns for 2 or more years are still around either way as long as people keep voting in those who support that unreal anti-science agenda. But Biden will go around trying to get mayors to impose masks if governors don't mandate it.
Well, enjoy the show. If no one votes, no one wins to rule any of us. But that takes a majority to defy the clown show, and most people still buy into the deception to keep government slavery alive. There are more arguments about voluntaryism and non-aggression, look into them if you really want to be free.
I don't live in the US, but I've also never voted. Live free.
Biden, if elected, won't be President past the end of the first quarter. He will be replaced since they all know he is mentally unfit at this point in his life. Essentially, he is the placeholder until they take office, if that happens, and Harris can take over.
Outside of that, I like your sentiment here. A vote for either clown is a vote for slavery, loss of freedom, and a step towards Marxism.
The only difference is the speed.
What else is "voting" except to proxy a slave master over someone else. Don't view it as slavery so long as "goverment" calls it law and patridiotism. It is not theft so long as "goverment" calls it Taxation.
You said it yourself, it funds the war machine. And this war machine is committing genocide around the world for the profiteering for a few rich cowardice men and their families. Restricing Acces only where humans NEEDS something for surviving.
No sir. and to everyone else for that matter. Voting is a criminal act in and of itself.
and BEFORE we have a discussion, please read this first and then read it again till you understand, that I and many like me are not going to stand idely by and let our liberties get blown away without a fight first. And no. I do not condone violence. I have no right to be an agressor against someone just to have a paycheck or things stolen from my neighbors via proxy, taxation and threat of coercion by the banksters thugs aka police and military.
You want a solution? I don't have just complaints, but a solution. complaining are for those who have a solution. and damnit WE HAVE 1. but ye need read this first.
THEN may we talk about the SOLUTION And The RESULTS WE CAN SEE SOON WITHIN 10 YEARS IF WE GET STARTED NOW..
In short, in very short terms, the solution goes like this:
Keep working. Stop Paying.
I'll let your mind boggle around that one. but don't forget to read first. If you have a critical thinking mind and already know what I speak of, please feel free to speak your mind now. Unless your a statist, I will just ignore you till you read the book first.
Vote for me to be king of the universe. I promise to be le
I will read your recommended book.👓
voting is like throwing aways your choice; consenting to obey
choose wisely in ur life
The system is broken.
Not voting is basically casting a "vote of no confidence" in the system, itself...
I was really hoping that the giant meteor would win the election and maybe just get it all over with...
I’m curious where are you living ?
Might move there myself as I wanted to live Freely too
One is certainly less worse than the other, but I don't vote because I don't have a dog in the fight. These days I'm not even sure of the basic principles of democracy, mainly that 50.1% have the right to rule over 49.9%, but that is democracy, at least the way it's done in the USA.
Voting was one of the hardest addictions I was able to kick, but I do vote with my dollar, and I feel that is the real driving force. I've lived outside the USA for over 10 years, and have found more economic freedom and quality of life abroad. I watch from, but if I had to vote I would surely vote for President Camacho this year.
Vote for president Camacho in the year 2500.
Right. You may not totally agree with the person. If they are willing to bring more to the table, swallow your pride for a second. Like in sports, the teams who won the most games move on to playoffs. Or if a player needs to be replaced, the coach is going to pick the best person who will carry the team.
Show me you believe in voting by voting my comment up. :)
Bitcoin seems to be the real authority to choose.
It is rough
it is binary
but at least honest.
I often had the same thought, how lovely would it be if no one would go to vote. Imagine. People might not be able to handle the thought of actual freedom so many pick slavery and safety
The power of non voting has still to be discovered by most folks. It's a crime that awake people are suffering just because of a few sheep who refuse to accept the widespread fraud and manipulation in our system.
Agreed.
