      And Lemmy users are voluntarily consenting to become disenfranchised. They’re doing the billionaires’ work for them.

      They’re voluntarily agreeing to stay home on election day, let Trump win, and kill the Palestinian protest movement by giving people new problems to worry about.

      If it weren’t for these non voters, Kamala would have won and we’d currently be forcing her to divest from Israel. But instead we have Trump bombing Iran on Netanyahu’s orders and we have to do No Kings instead of No Israel. We’re stretched too thin because of these guys.
