    On lemmy, it’s mostly the same thing. I’m not sure I’ve seen a person claiming to be a far lefter suggesting anyone vote.

    EDIT: I’m standing corrected, and happy to be wrong.

        …. Happier guess? In fairness, it stands to reason that I wasn’t suggesting that ALL of them are Russian bots, but we all can safely assume that many here are.

          I’m also far left, absolutely vote. Living in a fascist dictatorship makes organising for change harder.

            It’s good to see people say so, but unfortunately, there’s not enough of the good one’s helping to stop the bad ones from spreading their propaganda. You MUST know there are people among you that are using your ideology to influence an election, right?

            “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”

            ~ John Stuart Mill

              Of course, and there’s people in the centre left that are pushing for a total change in the way the US is governed. There’s great and shit people everywhere.

                It’s be awesome if you guys would help tell these bots using your ideology to influence an election to sway toward Trump to fuck off.

      I’m far left (anarcho-syndicalist) and I say vote. It’s not that hard and buys us more time to do our organizing and try to build out unions and mutual aid networks while fascism is at least growing more slowly.

      Not at all. There is a suspicious amount of trolls/idiots here but don’t think the people pushing back aren’t leftists. See e.g. me
