They won’t

They will with enough pressure. This negative attitude is useless.

And that pressure comes from the citizens who never put pressure on. I live in a fascist government situation in Canada simply because I am disabled. But people like you would tell me to stop complaining that at least I have some support. I have chased my MP to no effect or response at all. I have done the same with my MLA. I have educated my fellow Canadians. I have ranted and raved for decades and protested about how we are treated as second class citizens and you all are not standing up for us. None of you. I’m purple in the face from screaming into the void.

You expect people to stand up for you? You’re delusional. My experiences at the bottom of Canadian society tell me otherwise.

Pressure as it “voting for other people” and “nationwide general strike” or pressure as in “Thoughts and prayers” online?

Because the first isn’t going to happen, as evident by this election, and the second hasn’t achieved anything so far, and will continue to achive nothing because it isn’t actually pressure.

That’s such a strawman as I have never said to “only vote.” There are many things people can do to pressure the government.

Ahh, here’s the tankie…

You’re responsible for Donald Trump getting elected because you just focused on attacking democrats relentlessly then foolishly claimed that voting is “pointless”

Get out of here with your authoritarian tendencies.

trump? i’m not even from the us, posting in a tiny ass forum.

i like how tankies are simultaneously evil and powerful to influence an election, while at the same time a puny 1% minority that does nothing. libs have to learn more before theorizing.
