Many voters are still outraged and will never forget how complicit Joe Biden made us in the genocide in Gaza. Extreme disapproval of Netanyahu, yet there’s Biden treating him like an old frat bro. Our tax dollars went to kill innocent people, and no one seemed to care that we’re not OK w that. So when Kamala told us she wouldn’t do a thing differently once elected, many voters threw in the towel.

It was a matter of “do tell my grandkids I voted for the slaughter of the Palestinians?”

In NV the percent of non-partisan voters continues to grow, threatening the hegemony of the democratic and republican parties. A majority supported a state constitutional amendment for ranked choice voting and open primaries the first time, under the radar, but failed to pass it the second time in 2024 because the D & R parties flooded the zone with money and sh*t. Still, I think the growth of non-partisan voters around the country is maybe the best hope for overcoming the death grip of big money. Do labor organizers have any interest in pursuing and/or supporting non-partisan voting blocks?

Maybe a Labour Party would pull enough votes away from the right?

How come nobody talks about him rigging the elections and that he admitted he rigged the elections and that Greg Palest proved it

I think there are 2 kinds of voters

1 informed

2 rage addicts who buy in to propaganda

The non voters:

A)Believe politics is bad for their health/ doesn’t affect me because they are all the same.

B) Don’t give a shit

I think it is that simple. It seems as though more people care now, but I think it is mostly the informed who are protesting. Maybe it will get better? I hope so
