claim 1: “voting doesn’t change anything”
Never forget the recent case of Kris Mayes, who refuses to uphold the Arizona supreme court’s sweeping ban of abortion.
Kris Mayes only won her 2022 election by 280 votes. Voting changes things.
claim 2: “but genocide joe”
Yep. Hold that fucker’s feet to the fire. He has blood on his hands
But trump has promised to be indisputably worse.
I won’t tell you how to vote. I just encourage you to vote. You’re not radical for ditching the only miniscule right the state has granted you to do some small aid for your neighbors.
The shoe that was thrown at Bush matters more than all the voting youre gonna do in your life. Dont fool yourself
Okay, buddy.
I’m sure you are more politically relevant than we are.
It certainly mattered to Canadian politics. One of our politicians participated in a shoe throwing event at -24 in Montreal where ppl threw their shoes at a picture of Bush to protest US involvement in that incident and Harper 's willingness to engage Canada in a meaningless war. One of the protesters was a provincial left-leaning party co-leader and MNA (Amir Khadir).
However, voting matters more than one successful protest on one issue. You would need to throw thousands of shoes to get shit done if that’s how you want to go about it.
I can only hope for people in there to go from shoes to bricks really fast
What exactly did that shoe accomplish?
it was pretty funny, I liked it
Showing disgust for the genocidal ghouls that rule the USA.
It got an MNA in hot water for his involvement in a protest in Montreal where people went out at -24C and threw their shoes at a picture of Bush.
It got a Quebec MNA in hot water because he did the same at a protest where ppl threw their shoes at a picture of Bush in Montreal at -24C.
Also I think It inspired at least one song by the Canadian band “simple plan”.
Basically Canaa picked up the shoe and ran away with it
