Would that it were that easy to matter as member of the "voting public".
Imagine thinking that sitting on your ass commenting on lemmy is gonna make you matter.
Try going door to door convincing people or something or just stop fucking complaining all the time holy shit.
I love this site. I love the political landscape of it for the most part, but seeing all of this bullshit is starting to get to me bc I know people just like this. People that listen to rage against the machine and say death to all nations but have never done charity work in their life, nor tried to actually push the political agenda they believe in in a meaningful way (commenting online and consuming socialist media doesn't count, sowwy.)
Frankly, it's pitiful.
Are you the one guy who tries to walk up to corporate front desks with a resume and firm handshake, loudly asks for a job, only to realize how out of touch you are 3 after the receptionist tells you applications are all online now?
