“Give up your voice”. Dude … I’m saying the opposite. You’ve been convinced that voting is the way you get to be heard and it’s just not.
Let me ask you something. If the USA were a McDonald’s, would you personally be treated like the customer? Hell no. You’d be working in the grill until one day it snows and you get drafted to shovel snow. Voting for who’s manager isn’t going to change that.
Voting for who’s manager does determine policies like outlawing medical treatments and sending women to prison for having miscarriages though. All this doomerism means shit to me as long as there are people in prison because of a Republican president who wouldn’t have been in prison if we’d elected Clinton. Voting matters a whole hell of a lot when you’re anything other than a cishet white man.
Maybe consider there are other alternatives to voting?

“The four boxes of liberty”
Literally everything else. You turn off the TV/radio/social media and go about your life.
Ignoring politics doesn’t make you immune to its effects on your life. Idk why you would purposely give up your voice.

In your analogy, the company in question is more like an employee owned co-op.

It’s the most important one, and it’s easy to exercise . Believe it or not , nobody cares about your Lemmy posts.
You cared enough to reply
I really like this analogy
I don’t, because I’ve had a few different managers in my lifetime and some were certainly bigger assholes than others.
That’s just not voting
And then consider why no one is currently doing them and then wonder why people think Trump winning would change that. Because it won’t change.
Guy Fawkes had a lot of good ideas …
