Voting makes you think your opinion matters while you vote, but it actually doesn't matter. Voting makes you think you can change something, but it doesn't change anything. Voting makes you think you should wait for a lot of time to change something in elections, while you can strike right away and shouldn't wait for elections. Voting makes you think you are living in a free democratic country, but it is actually a monarchy and dictatorship.
Do you think the votes are really 49-51% randomly? Or do you ever think it might be intentional. They have all the media, all the power, they can make you think whatever they want.
What they do is, give you two shitty options, make you vote for them 49-51% and do whatever they want and make you fight each other while they are doing the things that you hate.
People are fighting like "if you hadn't voted for this guy, that wouldn't have happened" but it would have happened again, because the other side is also working for the same guys.
Do not vote. Do not wait for elections. Go on strike right away. Stop following media, stop following politics, if your life sucks nobody will change it but you.
The poor has no friends other than the poor. Do not become enemy to your poor/worker friend, even if they support the other political party, even if they are minority that you dont like.
Edit: I really do not understand. I told people we can elect a monkey if we had media, and they upvoted it: https://lemmy.world/post/43003985 While, when I tell people voting doesnt work and we should stop doing it, it is downvoted. This doesnt make sense. Media can make people elect a monkey, but we should still go vote??
Lol! That's a pretty wild false equivalence you tried, there. First of all, Turkiye is a completely different country, with a completely different culture. Who they vote for, and why they vote for them, is completely different than what US voters are looking for...so, obviously their choices are going to be different too.
Secondly, your example makes my point...not yours. In Turkiye, 90% of the population voted...and they got exactly what they voted for. It's different than what the US population wants...but that doesn't change the fact that they still got the result they wanted.
How does that prove that voting doesn't work?
I don't think people want a dictator lol, and you think Trump won't be elected if 90% attends but this is not the case either. It changes nothing, and it makes people numb, by forcing them to wait for votes. You should not care about votes but care about actual changes.
In Turkey, the election results are again 52-48 percent, similar to US elections. And I promise, the next one will again be 52-48 percent, because this is the best ratio to make people argue with each other. They intentionally make this ratio by the power of their propaganda.
