Bonus points to anyone who remixes this to use Hasan Piker's face.

Voting is the first, and only the first, step in a revolution, armed or otherwise.

But sure, for it to be useful, there have to be good candidates. Who's the pro-green, pro-Palestine, pro-healthcare, pro-fair use, pro-unions, con-AI, con-pharma, con-cars, con-shareholders candidate again?

There has to be a government worth participating in.

Chicken-and-egg problem?

Or maybe not so much. Ultimately, it's putting people in charge that even begins making a government. Put good people in charge.

Meh. I prefer something non-hierarchical… No I don’t have designs of that solution but if you need ‘someone in charge’ to force people into a system, I’m out. Ideally. Where my idealists at?!!

American's don't have class consciousness. If a revolution happens it will be a fascist authoritarian one like we saw on Jan 6.

Are you part of a revolutionary militia? If not, you better get your ass to the ballot box at the very least. Posting memes on your favorite social media app isn't going to change shit

Assuming someone were to be part of a revolutionary militia do you think they should post about it on the internet to win fights with people like you

Voting will, though. This is the most important election of any of our lives.

Just like every one before it

Okay if you're going to be chilish, you can go back to Russia, troll. raises hand for high five

nah, just the last 5 national or so. the ones before that weren't that dangerous

They genuinely believe they could make change by "putting the right person in change". I can't help but feel sorry for them :<

How is it possible that things can get worse if the wrong person is in charge, but that one would argue that things can't get better with the right person in charge? Either the person in charge has an effect on our collective situation or they don't.
