I’ve never heard of such a movement, tbh.

It’s an incredibly stupid movement where people are saying that they won’t vote as a protest to not liking either candidate.

Usually said by people who have little to lose if Republicans win, seem to think revolution is a viable possibility if Republicans win, and/or think that by not voting something good might happen.

Also people who don’t understand that our system is a First-Past-the-Post system and the only group of people who are trying to get support for not voting in this election are people on the left.

So I’m not as many words: people trying to guarantee a victory for trump.

Again, I haven’t seen anything like that. I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt by assuming that you aren’t dumb enough to be confusing the noncommitted movement of the DNC Primaries with the general election in November. You’re not that dumb, right?

Don’t make the mistake of believing that just because you haven’t seen something that it doesn’t exist.

We all exist in media bubbles and in those bubbles we miss a lot. By seeing this meme you could say that your media bubble has finally bumped into the bubble where people openly talk about not voting.

Hell there’s comments in this comment section on the note of not voting.

I’ll be voting but it won’t be for Biden or Trump. If you want me to vote for him then figure out how to make him listen to the people he’s depending on to get elected.

There’s no such thing as the perfect candidate so voting for the person you hate the least is the best option for preventing the person you hate the most from winning.

I’m not a fan of Biden but he’s way fucking better than trump and his fellow Republicans.

Exactly. A bunch of people, often from the propaganda instances lemmy.ml, loudly saying on a platform dominated by the left that people shouldn’t vote.

The Kremlin wants Trump to win so they can continue their barbaric land grab in Ukraine.

I don’t like either candidate, but I’ll be damned if trump is going to be president again and project 2025 comes to fruition.

You guys could just overthrow the government, kill the elite and start fresh. Please do that.

My thoughts exactly. The Kremlin wants to stir up exactly this kind of problem in the US and other democratic countries helping Ukraine defend themselves.

By that logic it’s never okay. Some of th best changes in history grew from overthrowing government.

just overthrow the government

That’s far easier said than done, and honestly even saying that feels like an understatement

We could just take out the pharmaceutical manufacturers and the government would expire when they don’t get their meds.

Doesn’t the USA technically have 6 parties?

Sure, and a window on the fifth floor is technically an exit. But that doesn’t make it a viable option.

I think a better analogy would be, “a building has many exits available, but only 2 emergency exits. During an emergency, you ‘must’ use the emergency exits… But do you really?”

If the USA population decided to ignore the democrats or republicans, as a whole, and focus their votes on one of the remaining four parties, then you lot would see a different party being elected. Easier said than done. I know. And I’m not blaming any of the USA voting population for this dichotomy.
