The "Don't vote" crowd seems to have an agenda

I know how editorial sections work, but you'd think they'd at least check for bald-faced lies. Not out of a sense of decency, but self-interest.

Reminder that voting does work, because you can set your watch to the fascists voting, and they're getting exactly what they want.

Why does he look like a cartoon British man

Dude’s got the haircut down. All he needs is to trim down that mustache from either sides to complete the “fine people on both sides” look

Hitler-haircut-having motherfucker

his haircut is really reminding me of someone 🤔

I support right-wingers not voting. Like they kept threatening when they were insisting (not that they aren't still insisisting) that the 2020 election was stolen.

Where it matters is which sock is putting judges on the Supreme Court. Trump added three in his last stint. Seeing as they tend to sit for 30+ years, this has generational impact.

It is gaining traction with leftists that don't understand how FPTP voting works. Just educate them. Every single right-wing anchor they try to attach to our society can be destroyed with education and information.

He looks like a pedophile.

They almost always do. Don't vote campaigns works on only non-fanatics and they are usually the more sensible compared to fanatics so yea

Karma police, arrest this man; his Hitler haircut is making me feel ill.

Well fuck that guy. I love how he tries to compare voting to sexual abstinence too. He's so high on his own supply he can't stop from telling on himself.

I hate that I know the US is having an election because all leftist spaces fill up with "I'm so principled that I'm not voting for the Democrats".

I'm going to vote.

I can't pretend it matters much though. No matter which lever you pull we're getting a cognitively-impaired sock puppet.

They are on board with YOU not voting. But they will be voting... Extra if they can arrange it

With a hitler stache

He looks like a character played by a youtube comedian.

He looks exactly like I imagined. Like the idea came first and then he was born, created from it even.

ANNNNND maybe Hitlers long lost grandchild ?

Looking forward to this one guy being held up as representative of the entire 1/3 of Americans who don't vote, as well as third party voters of all stripes.

What a hideous mustache

I've noticed a substantial decrease in the "Hurr durr Genocide Joe, I'm taking the moral high ground by not voting!" comments since the debate, with a stark uptick in "Biden is unfit, so I'm not voting". It's almost like... some sort of group or organization were intentionally manipulating the public commentary based on carefully selected and salient talking points to convince American voters to not turn out for Biden on election day... Perhaps an entity with something to gain from having Trump be re-elected? A certain plutocratic state currently mired in a years-long losing war against a much smaller and weaker foe, maybe?

Like seriously, I've barely heard a peep about Gaza in the past two weeks. It's bizarre. I'm sure there are still people who care about that issue, but the vast majority of the most vocal anti-Israel users on Lemmy went silent right after Biden bombed that debate.

How come the NYT published that gunk? I thought they had a reputation to care about

So people should vote even if it is for Trump?

If you saw this guy with his right arm straight out, palm down.....you wouldn't say he doesn't look comfortable.

Remember an op-ed is a blood pact. Everything the NYT puts out again should be viewed through this lens. They endorsed not voting, and nothing will ever make that not true..

Edit: oh look it was trivial to find a form on their website to let them know what I think.

except we aint telling you not to vote. fascists vote because they are who the system was designed for.

I wasn't going to vote but you convinced me that there is an agenda to get me to not vote so now I'm going to vote for trump.

less other people vote, more worth your vote will have if you vote something others weren't going to vote

I didn't get the news that Musk had bought the NYT.
