ID: line drawing of an upright bunny with a black bandana tied around their neck, holding a lit match in their mouth like you might a toothpick. The text says “we can’t just vote fascism away, the time has come to disobey. (be brave!)”

    The 2-parties in this monopolized system are owned by the same corporate interests and mega-rich. Everything is by their design. We never had a choice.

    The system will never work for us, because it’s working as intended. We need to annihilate it and start from scratch. There is no fixing it from the inside and hoping the next person isn’t just another lesser evil to vote for.

        How does enabling a fascist help us on this path?

        Are you responding to the wrong person? Who’s talking about enabling fascists?

          How does not voting and allowing a fascist to win allow us to dismantle the system?

            Who the hell said to not vote? I’m saying it’s not the cure for this diseased system that we need to dismantle and rebuild. Vote on that 1 day, then organize with like-minded people to enact some real change every other day.

            Please don’t twist my words.

              When you reply to someone talking about people sitting out to vote with excuses for them it kind of looks like you’re making excuses for not voting.

                Never said anything remotely close. I’m just pointing out that it’s not going to fix anything in a system designed to subjugate and oppress the peasants. It’s just evil vs slightly less evil, every time.

                Emphasis on, vote on that 1 single day, but work to do something that will have actual impact for the rest of the 4 years of your (until further notice) free time until the next sham election, or hopefully, a new, fair system is born of revolution.
