/uj Welcome to Non-Voters! We're a parody sub making fun of the people on Lemmy lately who've been criticising Biden to try and get Trump elected while claiming to be the only real leftists. If you're new here, I recommend reading the sidebar, and remember: No genuine leftism (unless tagged /uj)
Why punch down on such small voting block? Why not go after conservatives (the people who actually have power) instead? For every one "leftist" there are 100 conservatives.
Yeah, lemmy's full of conservatives. There's hardly ever any liberal posts like ours on Lemmy. Nobody ever mentions the problems with Biden supporting a genocide, it's basically a complete unknown on this website

OK, so why not go to where they are then? You'd probably reach more people that way.

I assume you are referencing the people who say they won't vote because Biden supports Israel? These people are vocal on this platform, sure, but they are a small minority in reality.
In my opinion, a more effective use of time would be talking to the huge swath of apolitical nonvoting population. There are many people who do not vote, not because they are "leftist", but because they are under-informed or disinterested in politics.
I, too, inform my decisions on how to use Lemmy by completely ignoring Lemmy and its users
OK, so keep shitposting into the void then. You've really moved the needle here. You do you, friend.
/uj I’m confused, most leftists I know are putting in effort to educate and unionise workplaces and growing their respective party/community which is actively improving the lives of the people around them. I feel like in the end those efforts have much more impact, because as a single person you can actually change peoples perspectives on for example trans rights by community work whereas for voting to have any impact you need to move massive amounts of people behind 1 single viewpoint. I don’t have strong opinions on the usefulness of voting, I vote for an equivalent of a US 3rd party and I understand fellow trans people who are afraid for their future making them vote for a party they don’t necessarily stand behind but personally I have friends in Gaza and would rather lose some of my rights/live in a more dangerous environment than vote for a party that actively supports the killing of their family members (and possibly them).
I just wonder if the people in this community ever talk to leftists who organise and still find their work to be offensive or if they only encounter keyboard warrior leftists (who can be very condescending).
/uj The title and image are parody of liberal beliefs. You know, the kind of liberals who will let Trump bomb the west bank in order to show symbolic alliance with Gaza.
/uj I'm eagerly awaiting to see the kind of bedfellows you attract with this comm, assuming it doesn't get taken down for being instigatory first.
/uj I already talked with Ada about making this community and she's fine with it as long as I follow a few stipulations
Reminder that if I see any leftists commenting on this sub I'll ban you right away! This community is a safe space for liberals and post-liberals. Remember not to defend US sham "democracy", while simultaneously refusing to acknowledge the necessities of strategic voting in a non-democratic republic
Welcome to Non-Voters, a safe space for closet Trump fans, Stalinists who never did any direct action in their lives, and self-hating trans people who want to be genocided and to take the West Bank with us!
/uj This is a parody sub designed to make fun of non-voting liberals who pretend to be leftists.
Rule 1, Unjerk Tagging: Any genuinely held leftist opinions must be tagged with the /uj tone tag.
Liberal opinions we are mocking should not be tagged /uj.
Rule 2, Taking It Too Far: No slurs, no heil hitlers, bigotry shouldn't be too believable, no misgendering.
Rule 3, Clarity of Satire: All posts should clearly be marked as satire such that nobody scrolling the feed casually could think we actually believe this shit. Go wild in the comments.
Rule 4, Unironic Advocacy: People who actually believe in the conservative, liberal, stalinist, reactionary, and/or bigoted takes here will be made fun of in the spirit of the joke.
