Give me your olives then. I don't mind

Don't worry, single issue voters are very rare. They're being loud right now on Lemmy, but I honestly don't see them anywhere else. I'm pretty sure at least a third are paid actors too, but I can't prove that.

Probably most. You'd see 1000s of articles every day non-stop, if 20%+ of people were this disgusting.

The fact that you can still be surprised is proof that most of them aren't this disgusting.

No, because he was against the whole ethnicity, not just the state.

In Quebec, we have a saying that I would like to share with you. It comes from our love for complaining. We are completely addicted to complaining about everything. It's our third national sport after Hockey and curling.

"If you don't vote, you can't complain"

If you vote for a person and they don't do the promised thing, you can complain. You have an excuse reason.

If you vote for a person and someone else gets elected, you can complain that the person you voted for would have done a better job.

If you do NOT vote, you didn't do shit. You didn't do the strict minimum. You have no excuse to complain about any of it, because you did not participate in the decision.

Every option you have is a vote for Genocide. Encouraging genocide is a bipartisan act. Ignore every bipartisan issues to select who you will vote for, otherwise you won't be allowed to complain about the results for 4 whole years.

You wouldn't want to not have an excuse to complain, would you?

It certainly mattered to Canadian politics. One of our politicians participated in a shoe throwing event at -24 in Montreal where ppl threw their shoes at a picture of Bush to protest US involvement in that incident and Harper 's willingness to engage Canada in a meaningless war. One of the protesters was a provincial left-leaning party co-leader and MNA (Amir Khadir).

However, voting matters more than one successful protest on one issue. You would need to throw thousands of shoes to get shit done if that's how you want to go about it.

It got an MNA in hot water for his involvement in a protest in Montreal where people went out at -24C and threw their shoes at a picture of Bush.

Uncommitted voters are not apathetic. The Democratic party is ( www.theguardian.com )

What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

If we're talking countries that are being attacked without cause, should we talk about how Trump doesn't want to support Ukraine's defense? You literally only care about one issue, don't you? This whole election is riding on one point in a thousand possible issues to consider.

Jeanschyso ,

First past the post voting, two party system means that mathematically, you are placing half a vote on Biden and half a vote on Trump by abstaining democracy doesn't exist in the United States. Sorry you had to learn it this way. It's also on its way out over here in Canada, don't worry we're catching up :(

Alternatively you could vote for whoever has the best platform LOCALLY in YOUR country, whoever that may be, and send angry letters letting them know that while you support some of their policies, you are uncomfortable with the president's lack of support for a cause you consider just.

Jeanschyso ,

It's "the news".

I don't think Poilievre is about to round up people and send them to camps. He's only out for the money.

Jeanschyso ,

There would still be a problem because while the USA have a big responsibility in the fight against climate change, they are far from the only country that needs to do something about it. It's an us problem, not just a U.S. problem.

We laugh, but there are a lot of plans across North America to revert the overuse of car infrastructure. Even Quebec small town, who love saying they're the opposite of Montreal, are desifying and giving up on doubling lanes on roads, adding bike paths and attempting to work with what they have to reduce solo car usage.
