ID: photo of Martin Luther King Jr. waving at the crowd during the March on Washington, on it is his quote: “He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”

    Voting (and in any other way participating) in an oppressive system (E: and for an oppressive party, either way) is literally the opposite of protesting it.

    Welcome to the point lmao

      MLK: Moderates might be literally worse than the KKK

      Libs: Yeah but have you considered that you’re racist if you don’t vote for someone actively trying to make your life worse

        Without fucking fail.

        And all with an overinflated and unearned sense of self righteousness to replace the deep sense of irony, and shame, they should be feeling.

          This describes every single one of the non-voters and protest voters I’ve interacted with perfectly.

          ETA: triggered a few

            Maybe if they didn’t run such a shitty campaign, ignore the genocide, have Bill Clinton campaign them, and ignore the concerns of the majority, then more non-voters would’ve voted for them? If you think protests voters did more to make them lose than their shitty campaign, you need to get that blue boot out of your mouth.

              Who the fuck are you? And how many repeated blows with mining equipment did your skull receive in order for that to be your takeaway?

                Oh wow, so out comes the ableism. I’m not a miner but the vitriol shown in this comment against a class of laborer that is routinely disabled by their work is additionally nice.

                Scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds. You’re really not beating the allegations with this one dog.

                    They literally called me disabled as an insult because they didn’t like what I said. That is ableism.

                  Oh, I’m so sorry! I didn’t realize! Your diagnosis must’ve come as a real shock.

                  Enjoy your wooden blocks and training wheels! There’s a whole big world out there for ya kiddo!
