Cannabis is currently classified along with drugs like heroin and LSD. The administration is expected to reschedule it into a category that includes Tylenol and steroids.
Not voting does nothing. It doesn’t show that you disagree, it doesn’t prevent things from happening.
It is the ultimate inaction that agrees with the status quo. As fucked as the two party system we have is, not engaging with it still let’s it perpetuate. You can’t just wash your hands of the system with some dreams and wishes that inaction causes change. No one, and I truly fucking mean no one, is counting the people who don’t vote.
If you want to cause change, then marches, protests, and disruptions are the tools. Not sitting idly by while others make their opinions heard. Until we have a voting reform, this is the tool we have. So work towards changing or replacing that tool with something better. But don’t think not using it will somehow make a difference.
Edit: ah fuck, it’s this right wing conservative account that keeps popping up. I should block you, but it’s better to have opposing viewpoints and be able to respond than it is to allow you to speak without debate.
I sure hope that dude is a troll or a bot I really try to give most people benefit of the doubt but those might take the cake was the most insane takes I’ve ever heard.

Voting for Biden didn’t change anything in 2020 either as now in 2024, we’re right back where we were in 2016 and 2020. Acting like we should just compromise our morals this time by supporting a guy funding and arming a genocide because ‘the other guy is so much worse’ is just a trap they’ve put you in because there is always going to be ‘the worse other guy’ so long as you help perpetuate this cycle.
Voting for Dems and Republicans is inaction as you’re doing nothing but maintaining their positions of authority and maintaining the status quo. The only way this could be seen as ‘action’ is if your goal is keeping them in power.

This is hilarious as the other guy replying just brought up the low Democratic turnout in 2016. People are absolutely counting this. The fewer people that support these two parties, the less power and influence they’ll have. This opens up space for alternative parties, the same as it would if we were talking about businesses like Walmart and Target. You think they’re behemoths that can just survive forever without any customers, but that isn’t the case.

It’s funny you bring that up because college students are currently doing that on campuses and college administrators along with Democratic and Republican leaders are siccing the police on them and disparaging them in the media.

Are you not hearing my opinion here?
Until we have a voting reform
When will we have it? It sounds like you’re passively waiting for it to arise by doing nothing other than electing the same people each election.

🙄 typical misinformation. I challenge you to quote or link to even one right-wing viewpoint I’ve given at any point in time.
