by that logic only 3.2% of eligible voters voted Green
I don't want to shame non-voters, I despise our political system too, but disengaging with politics cedes power to Fascists and causes greater suffering
I don't feel safe as part of a much larger anti-Fascist whole
"in a racist society its not enough to be non-racist, you must be anti-racist"
~Angela Davis
it would take a 4th of non-voters to give Greens - or anyone else - a majority beyond those held by Labour and Tories
other options than Labour & Tories have been on the ballot forever
I would love to believe everyone is an anarchist at heart, as I increasingly am, but lets be real
we're a nation of ignoring problems and hoping they go away until we Brexit or something
that brings me no comfort
do more than vote, but vote
