@EUCommission I already used mine yesterday! But I used the wrong hashtag under my post inviting people to vote 😂😂😂
@EUCommission Wish I could but I was dragged out by my government based on a fraudulent referendum voted on by a gerrymandered electorate.
@EUCommission
“others will decide for you”, you mean like you’re deciding to ram through #ChatControl no matter how many of us oppose it?
@EUCommission Portuguese voters can also vote in most Portuguese embassies around the world independently of their voting place registration, so go out and vote from Sydney to Rio.
@EUCommission others will decide anyway. How do we get rid of von der Leyen and the rest of the genocidal crew? Of course, in my case, my government stole my vote from me anyway.
@EUCommission Seeing this entire "vote hype" I am always wondering, why is there no voting option under the title: "None of the above candidates meets my expectations"?
People thinking similarly doesn't have a realistic option to vote for something. They are somehow discriminated, imho.
Lack of this one particular voting point/option is simply unfair vs. all the voters. The whole voting should be fair for every allowed persons and for the voting itself, from its definition, don't you think?
@EUCommission Wish I could vote as well.
Please go to the votings and don't vote the brown rubbish parties.
Every vote for the democratic parties count for a strong europe.
@EUCommission
"Have your say"? LOL! Sounds like something a king would say to his subjects.
A couple observations:
• "or others will decide for you" is ironic if you think of it. We are indeed voting for others who will decide for us.
• "Democracy starts with YOU" + "PARTICIPATING DIRECTLY in decision making processes" is what real democracy is. Referendums are such, but are scary.
→ Despite all that, the EU representative system works miracles, compared to any existing alternative.
@EUCommission yeah, this is all fine and dandy, but we still only can vote only on representatives of our own country. So when you have not enough confidence in those to do the right thing, you are stuck with a vote for the least bad. I would really like the EU voting not to be like our stupid Belgian system.
@EUCommission I voted today right after breakfast.
🗳️ It is not the final day to have your say !
Today you can try to vote for the lesser evil, the least corrupt. The least fascist.
It is reasonable. It does not cost much and might slow down criminal policies slightly.
But it will not stop them in the long run. It will not change much.
Voting never did.
All politicians are inherently corrupt in this flawed system.
Elections are a farce, where our « choice » is in practice limited to the politicians chosen for us by the media, owned by capitalists. And once Election Day is over, the elected officials do whatever is in their interests, even if it is the opposite of what they promised. And you are supposed to accept it, even in the face of outright betrayal. You are supposed to just wait until the next election and shut up until then.
« It is the final day to have your say ! » actually means that : you are certainly not supposed to protest after the elections are over. You are supposed to obey and meekly accept the decisions made on your behalf, whatever they may be !
Elections are a false democracy, the sole purpose of which is to deceive the people into believing they already hold power, to dissuade them from revolting to take it !
The only true democracy would be a direct democracy, where the whole population would vote the laws directly, law by law, amendment by amendment, and participate in its application, instead of structurally corrupt politicians and judges. It may seem unrealistic and impossible, but it is only the case because we are conditioned to beleive that it is. Although it certainly won't be easy, we have no choice but to fight for it and achieve it, because it is the only thing that can stop the disasters that threaten us.
In the meantime, the first step is to organize and revolt.
Strikes are our best weapon right now, and coordinated mass strikes are the only thing that ever forced the capitalists and their servants to compromise on their profits and pass laws (somewhat) in the interests of the people and the working class.
Democracy starts with understanding that elections are a scam.
Whatever you do #vote
@EUCommission and fascism ends with you voting too
@EUCommission STOP this torture! Leave the people in peace! Democracy is not a choice when it's the only option.
@EUCommission @kallekn Happy voting Europe. We are counting on you
@EUCommission
"democracy starts with you" that's exactly why I would prefer to vote in the German elections, all the others are folklore to give the idea of "democracy".
@EUCommission The fight against the #farright starts at the booth!
