i did. and i encouraged as many people as i could to do so as well. my struggle is the people saying voting does nothing and the only way to get our scumfuck politicians to do anything is the way malcolm x did. and those people reveal something about themselves when they say that. malcolm x said “the ballot or the bullet.” he necouraged democratic participation AND radical action. you have to both. and what’s more is voting takes so little effort. i find it hard to believe people who are unwilling to put in the effort to vote are willing to put in the effort to take radical action. and frankly, that’s what i see out in the streets. who was protesting with me before the election were people saying we need to vote. and it’s all those same people now. i don’t see all those “we hate blue maga” people here on lemmy out in real life putting the work in to support the movement of meaningful justice, equity, and peace.
