The only people that try this hard to prevent others voting, are those who know they'll lose if the majority actually votes.

If you think sharing a meme about voting once every six months or so is trying at all, much less trying hard, you need to recalibrate your definition of activism.

I see it, I like it, I share it, it takes thirty seconds. Calling this "slacktivism", even, is an insult to actual slacktivists.

But this meme affected you so much that instead of downvoting and moving on you felt the need to comment. Please step back for a minute and think about why you felt that way.

(Also? I live in the United States. The majority voted in 2024. They overwhelmingly chose Donald John Trump as their President. And follow up polls showed very clearly that, had every registered voter voted, Trump would have won by an even greater margin. The government that resulted is the greatest indictment of American democracy I can imagine.)
