'Let’s flood our friends’ feeds with encouragement to vote and help protect everything we love.'
If we can learn something about safety and justice today, we know voting is not going to help us attaining it.
From Modi to Bolsenaro to Orbán to Salvini to Putin, Netanyahu, Trump and Erdogan.
If we can learn anything from 'voting' and 'making our voices heard through elections' it is that either we can't trust our fellow voters or that it was never about hearing us. I think the latter.
So let's not continue keeping up that illusion. It's either naive or incredibly malicious.
For a big organisation with knowledge of power plays, money, resources and capacity such as Avaaz: I think the latter.
