      Brace yourself for an apparently super edgy hot take:

      Rioting > voting

      rioting & voting > just rioting

      just voting > nothing at all

      Discouraging voting or rioting = supporting the status quo.

      I’m stealing random awesome Lemmy quotes for early voting encouragement cards. Would you like your user handle to be kept out of it or can I credit it?

          Lol, fuck this comm. They banned you for encouraging people to vote? It’s so fucking transparent what they’re doing.

          Interesting concept, terrible execution, run by people with an agenda to push. I’ve finally decided to block it.

      Put a small rock in your shoe, too, because they can use gait as another identifying variable.

      And scope your ALPR camera locations, too. Also, there are ALWAYS like 2x more than what are listed. They can also pull private cameras, too, if they really feel like it.

      Always plan your egress.

      There is strength in numbers. But also for them. And you are still fleshy and soft and breakable. Be careful, a lot of these cops and feds are terrorists and are not playing safe anymore, they WILL try to maim anybody, kill you if they get an excuse, and ruin your livelihoods if given the chance.

      This is not a game. This is not a test. This country is sick.

      In the meantime, work on your cardio. Always work on your cardio. They are, too.

      Remember, the US is extremely well funded on the bad side, and is basically the biggest, most well funded, and well backed gang in the entire world by a huge margin, still. If you get found or get your card pulled and get singled out, you better be prepared and make the right decisions, because money, hate, fear, ignorance, and power does awful things to even seemingly normal people.

      Rioting = participatory democracy

      Voting for status quo defined by elite = not actual democracy

            I’m not trying to convince you to not vote, but the system is rigged and I’m trying to convince you to riot.

              That’s fair and entirely accurate.

              Edit: everybody should still vote though. Do both! Voting is easy, rioting is less easy, but is directly effective.

                No it isn’t, it’s counter effective because it helps maintain the liberal parties as the farthest left conceivable parties.

                If we instead convinced people to become communists instead of uselessly voting for liberals we would have more actual communists.
