I'M VOTING AS HARD AS I CAN ! ! !
r/Wayofthebern and Robert Fedvans sub is extremely
This is the way.
When you Bern once, you Bern for eternity.
The way of the Bern is not a choice, it is a lifestyle; a higher calling that is not sought, but answered.
And literally cut off the rest of the screenshot.
I mean, there's a reason why fascists always try to prevent, restrict or manipulate voting, but

People like you deserve Trump. It makes me laugh every day knowing you are going to lose and not know why.
I’d rather die before I vote Democrat in anything other than a local school board race.
I’m betting everything financially on China, not America. Your superior intelligence can surely extrapolate what that means for my expectations of each country’s future.
People like me deserve Trump because you didn't do the most basic thing against it because your nose was too high in the air to do so. Got it.
If people like us were so important we lost you the election, then you should've probably tried to win our vote
You deserve Trump because you think voting for Democrats actually does something, even when historical context tells us they will fold under pressure from Republicans even when they have a majority control.
Also they're completely identical on issues of foreign policy. Don't like genocide? Too damn bad, you don't get a choice.
The question is how to defeat fascism, not prevent it. This implies that fascists are already in control (and they are, and they have been for a lot longer than most liberals will admit), which means they're going to prevent, restrict, or manipulate voting. How, then, is telling people to vote helpful?
If they station ICE at polling stations during the Midterms to harass minorities, how are you gonna vote your way out of it? Voting was what happened before fascists took power, once they take power you need to change tactics.
Obviously if the midterms are cancelled, then other means are going to be necessary (possibly some of the things that were cut off of the screenshot, who knows). If they happen, then yeah vote the fuck out of them. (But also, don't just vote - but that's another story.) But spreading shit like this will make people apathetic to voting, meaning that if or when the midterms are cancelled, more people will just shrug, instead of flooding the streets in rage and shutting the country down.
We need to be acting like the Midterms are in danger now, not sitting around and waiting a few months for it to be official. If and when the Midterms are canceled it will be too late to flood the streets, the streets need to be flooded before it's already too late.
Yeah, fully agree on that, and would take it a step further: the streets needed to be flooded regularly. The couple of mass protests that have happened up until now can only be seen as a start. That needs to happen on a much more regular basis, among other things.
The streets have been flooded. The votes have been voted. Try something else
