How many elections that are "the most important" until people notice that representative elections don't work? (Even in non-fptp electoral systems)
Still, better to vote for the candidate that will ensure that forms of political action besides voting will continue to be legal
Funny use of the word "ensure".
The problem with liberal democracies isn't that representatives are elected, its who those politicians represent. It's not the working class, except when it is and those politicians get Salvador Allende'd 💀.
Every election is important, if they weren't why even hold an election?
In US politics it's always "if the dems don't win, then it's the end of the free world".
Not the free world; just America as a mostly-free state.
Lol. As if the dems don't slide into fascism. Cop City is bi-partisan.
Best not to vote then? Best to let the guy win who has promised on the campaign trail to make the lives of trans people, women, immigrants, basically everyone who isn't a straight white male, as miserable as he possibly can, and not put up even a token resistance against Israel, because the other guy isn't resisting Israel as hard as we'd like and is therefore just as bad?
I hate Biden too but not voting is not the solution.
