Crowdsourcing a Vax for the “Genocide is OK During an Election” Virus 2024. Acrylic on corrugated plastic board, 24 x 36"
154,419,384 people voted for genocide in the United States. That is a big, scary and stupid number of human beings moved by the propaganda machine. However, it’s not the end of hope for eternity, even though it is bye-bye for Palestinian longevity.
In the 2024 Presidential election, there were 258 million eligible voters. The good news? 100 million refused to vote for either sociopath, or picked the candidate not represented by their thought-control TVs. It is this non-voting bloc that provide a glimpse into our future, which is hope for me.
I suppose a majority of non-voters don’t care either way about the untimely deaths cause by shrapnel cutting into child organs; many in America are homeless, addicted to drugs, roving in gangs, or just too depressed to get out of bed in bleak November to care about such things, no matter what the year and agenda. But there must have been quite a few who abstained because of their distrust of power, especially when it openly guts defenseless people on video after video across social media.
Either way, 100 million (eligible) non-voters comes very close to non-compliance of a sick and twisted system called American politics. And therein lies hope for the future. Maybe next election the majority will no longer vote. And the following one reach 75% non-compliance. That number will beg to question if there is ANY legitimacy left for a federal government to tax us for oligarchy. By then maybe we’ll all be homeless, addicted to drugs, roving in gangs, or just too full of rage not to retaliate against the thugs holding power illegitimately.
For now, we abide. Me, the 100 million, those under 18, and the 4 million souls rotting in prison. We just need several more million to go bankrupt, or lose their F150’s to cancer, or their retirement portfolios to tank, or their social security to get stolen...
One can only hope.
I'm with you! I've no belief in government and have never voted. A little over half of the Irish population generally decline to vote but I'd say it's more out of apathy than protest.
How can I vote for something I don’t want? Another definition of insanity. A two-party system in a land of incredible diversity (335 million). It’s just silly by definition. Voting for the lessor of two evils is still evil. For instance, 10 years ago, universal health care was a talking point leading up to elections. Now, it’s not even a mention made by either plutocrat party. We might see a break in the matrix when all the fool baby boomers start losing their retirement over health care. Until then, middle classers don’t care how insane things get as long as they can blame the poor and/or desperate. Really gross, and really true.
