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.
These people do realise that the US version of first past the post, in the electoral college, means that a sizeable amount of people's votes literally do not matter? They get this right? If you live in a solid red state and vote blue, or vise versa, your vote effectively does not count. And that's before we get to the proportionality of seats assigned by the electoral college, which essentially makes rural landowners votes count multiple times more than people who live in the city, a remnant of the US constitution designed to give slave owners and large landowners more power. The only people whose votes actually count are a minority who live in swing states with a share of the electoral college large enough to influence the result of the election.
Just comparing it to the South African electoral system with proportional representation and one vote = one vote, the US system is backwards and hundreds of years out of date by comparison
To be frank, the way some people here talk about the election makes me think they sometimes forget this as well. You don't need to type 10 paragraphs about how you won't vote for Joe Biden when you live in Arizona lol
