In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'
I hear what you are saying my friend… I(US citizen) am not happy with what is going on, but what can I really do to make a change? I vote, and other than that, I work 50-60 hours a week to try and support my family and try to teach them to be good and do the right things. I dont have the time or resources to go protest in Washington… Im working my ass off to suport my family. The system here sucks and was built by others before my time. Do you want me to grab my guns and go battle ICE/the government single handedly and leave my kids to fend for themselves? Im just trying to get by. I havent been to a doctor in decades because I cant afford it… I send my kids instead, because that is more important to me. So you can sit on the sideline and say I am doing nothing, but Im voting and hoping for the best, but I cant battle the government corruption single handedly while I am trying to keep my kids alive and healthy. Tell me what to do. PLEASE!!!
Being politically active is so much more than just voting. So many options to do more. You can write to your representatives or call them. You can donate to NGOs fighting for what you believe in. You can be vocal in your opinion on the internet or towards colleagues, friends and family. You can take part in demonstrations or even organise. And a lot of other options.
The mentality of “I vote, what more can I do” is so defeatist and a huge part of the reason why the political right wing can do what they do.
There are so many of you with this exact same sentiment on every comment related to this topic. Imagine what you could do if you were organised.
I don’t think any of us have the answer for you, aside from casually pointing out that 2A is meant for more than the classroom, and if none of you do anything you’ll be raising your kids in a fascist theocracy within the decade.
They’re actively fighting to get voter registry information. Why do you think that is?
