Something that I realized about the fediverse is that you seem to be able to criticize the USA as a whole, but if you criticize the Democrats you get downvoted. Democrats suck they are not sacred cows (lemmy.ml)

If they think their only recourse in all of this is to vote differently next time, they’re more fucked than we think. It’s not about D v R. It’s haves and have-nots. Always was. The sports teams are to distract and divide.

Voting gets so much attention not because it's super effective, but because it's super easy. It's the absolute most efficient change/effort available to us.

Everyone should vote, just as a first step. Even if you don't like DvR there are third parties, write-ins, plus there is municipal and local voting, and issues you can vote on directly on the ballot.

And then after you're done voting, get involved in your local community.

If you're a defeatist/"enlightened centrist", you are a part of the system of oppression.
