I've been posting a lot less. I do want to say something I think is really important for elections, there's big ones coming up in #UK & #US.
67.3% voted in the 2019 UK #GeneralElection.
66% voted in 2020 US #election.
A third of the populace don't vote. Many of them feel politics is just a tool for the rich and powerful, or don't see how it affects their life, are persuaded by apathy and 'nothing really changes', and many also are turned off by the divisions.
Libtard & Snowflake being yelled by 1 third, Nazi and Fascist being yelled by the other third, and a third just check out & wash their hands of it all. Typically those people are not on the #Fediverse and will need to be engaged elsewhere, often more successfully in day to day life, by asking questions and listening.
It's important to speak to non-voters in language they can accept. Things do get worse when we don't vote. Engaged voterbases have better outcomes. Not only will politics shape how most parts of society we take for granted either continue or decline, but also how humanity survives coming challenges (tolerably, badly or or barely at all).
Voting has a direct impact on everyone's day to day life, our healthcare, our age care, our disability care, our childcare, our emergency care, our grocery & utility bills, our kids education, our illness & maternity cover, our pay & working conditions, how safe our food air and water is, and how much everything costs our families.
#TacticalVoting is becoming more important than ever. Yes the rich and powerful try to rig the systems, that's why tactical voting is so important. Here are some good UK resources.
