I have an Insta friend who was rage posting on all of us that posted tributes to Wayne Kramer, but haven't been regularly posting on the situation is Gaza - which she does all the time
I wanted to make a comment about how performative and ineffective it is to just keep re-posting stuff over and over but I wisely stayed out of it

the non voting conversation is entirely a will stancil et al project, socialists arent going around telling each other not to vote, but they might say something like that to will stancil because hes annoying and has made them the object of his weird ineffectual obsession

idk the only socialists I've heard/seen telling people that they're not voting in the US presidential election (which is still a long ways off and who knows what they'll think by then) are people in states that would have solid democratic leads anyway
there have been some well-meaning if kind of token vote municipal/state socialist candidates where I think it's an interesting exercise to push the discourse if you're able to bring issues to debates and coverage of the race, but I don't know if that's been that effective, either. the local mayoral election (nonpartisan position, someone who is ostensibly a democrat will will) ended up having a socialist-type candidate who, if anything, was a spoiler for the more left-leaning of big two candidates
there was also some guy who wanted to be the less-interesting Vermin Supreme-type guy of the midwest who somehow got some votes but we don't need to care much about that

There are def. left wing people in PA who say they aren't voting for Biden at least

One on ILX means how many in the entire state, though? PA is still swing-ish, isn't it?
― nickn, Tuesday, 6 February 2024 22:34 (three months ago) link
the typical formula is 1 ilxor = 1 million citizens, its not looking good
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 6 February 2024 22:40 (three months ago) link
Non-voter whining/panic runs parallel to the idea that criticizing Democrats online is basically voter suppression because the 100 people reading it on ILX or 38 followers on Twitter might swing the election.

the thing that drives me crazy about the high info left non voter panic is there are actually tens of millions of non voters out there, and as a group they lean democrat, who are they why arent you interested in any of them besides the handful of over educated people who hate genocide
i think i know the answer fwiw

Very convincing case here against the existence of non-voting socialists on social media

If there were a meaningful number of socialists in the USA there would be...socialism somewhere in the USA.

Since I am the one PA voter on this board who refuses to vote for Biden, I just feel the need to say that I am not a socialist. Also, cry more about it, I don’t give a fuck.

i can do it with two hands, too! Honestly, I just am tired of having this conversation. I have my belief about this, you have yours, and hyperfixation on it and me— bringing it up when I am not part of the conversation, when I haven’t even mentioned it anytime recently— just goes to show that it’s more about you than it is about me. Enjoy yourself.

being mad at one guy and spinning that out into a whole thing about a group of guys you can't avoid online is pretty on point for the thread tho

it started innocently enough with a guy who needed to post even tho he was worried hed get murdered over it, i mean thats solid stuff i think we can all agree

i mean clowning on Stancil is fine, the guy is a loon, but the bringing me into it in a barely-disguised way— come on. We’re not going to agree on this. It’s fine! We can still get along!

when i hear that non voting socialists are numerous
When I hear that non voting ANYONE exists in the USA especially with the state your democracy is in, I feel like I am taking crazy pills. I cannot fathom how you can rail against the shit going on and NOT VOTE. "my vote wont matter" well of course it fucking wont if you dont bother with it.
(and yes yes I know, disenfranchisement thanks to voting hours/times, loctions etc compared to where I am, to be duly noted).
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 7 February 2024 03:49 (three months ago) link
I'm guessing most of the non-voters simply dngaf. I think a very large portion of the country just has zero interest in politics whatsoever.

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 7 February 2024 03:54 (three months ago) link
fwiw, the non-voters are rarely the ones who rail against the shit going on. they are simply disengaged from politics, or exhausted from trying to keep body and soul together, or living in a crack house, or too timid to think their ideas are worth much, or just don't place much priority on it. There are myriad ways people never get around to voting.

Trayce lives in a country with compulsory voting though, right? we balance out the people who should vote, or should vote more reasonably, with the people who definitely shouldn’t vote because they ponder doing so but aren’t sure which candidate is more handsome
wish I was kidding but I know several friends who had parents or acquaintances who claimed to have voted for the cuter candidate. possibly something we should consider covering more in the press. who’s a cutie
