/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)
/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.
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.
Because the liberals are busy genocide apologizing
/uj
/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
So you people made a community dedicated to bootlicking the government? I’m sorry but is it not a genuine concern that our president is actively funding a genocide and the best thing you people can answer is “but at least he isn’t orange man”.
/uj
/uj abusing the /uj tag to post liberalism isn’t allowed. I’m going to have to remove some of your comments. Feel free to post your liberal opinions without a /uj
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
/uj What’s a “post-liberal”? Is it neoliberalism or something else?
I’m guessing this community is a direct response to ours
/uj
I think you’re right
I think this place is absolutely hilarious and I’m sticking around to see how it turns out (I wonder if by “self hating Trans people” they mean me)
/uj
/uj I feel somehow honored and I’m trying to think of a post idea
I personally welcome our new ideological and philosophical adversary
/uj
/uj I made a post
