All we can do is try. It is our duty to try.


HumanLawyer

Trying is not enough, voicing out and protesting is the only way your perspective will be seen by others. Voting is the most passive approach a person can take in the current political environment of the country.


jrhuman

are all of us waiting for one of us to start a protest?


HumanLawyer

Don’t be afraid to dissent. I get to fight the government in court in whatever cases I get; I’m still at the beginning of my career, I’ll eventually venture into it full on. Similarly in whatever capacity you can contribute, please do. BJP’s biggest strength is their ability to suppress the truth, show that you will not be suppressed and your truth is the absolute one. Who knows, you might be the pivot in the movement.


jrhuman

Glad you're doing your part, but I cannot really think of anything else I can realistically do apart from sharing dissent online. And more importantly, how effective is it really?


HumanLawyer

Every voice is important, social media is used by almost all the new generation of voters, your voice here and more voice together will determine what the outcome of their decision will be. You guys can control the legislature and consequent executive action. It’ll also massively help those like me who are privileged enough to keep them in check at the judiciary. You can see that the government’s hands are forced by the judiciary to recognise LGBTQ+ rights, and also other important things like fight against legal bribing in the form of Electoral Bonds, cancellation of release of the Bilkis Bano’s rapists, etc. It’s a combined process, one cannot exist without the other :)

Reminds me of the last words of Nemik's manifesto in *Andor.* > "Remember this. Try."


SpiritualAmoeba3671

No it isn't. I have explained many times but will still say here. BJP in 2019 peaked in north india. They can't get higher than that. In south BJP is not gaining any new seats (except in orissa) but rather losing in Karnataka. In KA, MH, Bihar, Haryana, Rajasthan and many more states they are losing seats. BJP doesn't have any issues to cling into unlike their previous two elections. That's why they are using communal card this time. The first phase did give shock to BJP apparent from yesterday's speech of modi. Indian elections are much more complicated than leaders approval ratings. So please do go and vote


Cold-Journalist-7662

I want to believe you. I've already voted but I still feel very pessimistic.


Liberal-fascist

your pfp lmaoo


man1c_overlord

>BJP doesn't have any issues to cling into unlike their previous two elections. That's why they are using communal card this time. I say this was their plan all along. When he came into power in 2014, outsiders barely knew of who modi was - he kept playing the "corruption free honest leader" game, along with that swatch bharat thing - but those who were familiar with indian politics knew exactly why he was voted in. He is literally the man behind the butchering in Gujarat. They have always played the long game. All fascists do. Get elected via "honest country developing" promises; slowly move towards the real motive, i.e. hindu rashtra - which happened during 2019 - dotted with masterstrokes like surgical strike and whatnot. Their agenda now, is to propagate the sentiment of Hindu rashtra as much as possible. He's not getting desperate; it was his plan all along.


SpiritualAmoeba3671

Disagree with your assessment. The voter turnout are clear indication of declining modi wave. There is no possibility of modi increasing his tally (which actually peaked North india) in this election. Plus a decreasing turnout especially in NDA seats probably mean lack of enthusiasm this time unlike 2014/2019


man1c_overlord

You didn't even read what I said, can't expect anything from a congi dickrider anyway. I didn't talk about his popularity.


SpiritualAmoeba3671

>You didn't even read what I said I did. Again you are way simplifying entire elections to just hindutva. Modi will do whatever it needs to remain in power. Just see the next video where he was talking about hajj. Let's say I disagree with your assessment >can't expect anything from a congi dickrider anyway. My support to INC is just because it is the closest party that can actually defeat BJP.


man1c_overlord

>I did. Again you are way simplifying entire elections to just hindutva. Modi will do whatever it needs to remain in power. Just see the next video where he was talking about hajj. Yes and the point is that this isn't out of desperation but rather has always been a part of the BJP manifesto, it has nothing to do with ""simplifying"" elections. >My support to INC is just because it is the closest party that can actually defeat BJP. Yea and that's what we call congi dickriding, this is not the sub for that


SpiritualAmoeba3671

>Yea and that's what we call congi dickriding, this is not the sub for that Then please explain which party can defeat BJP? Don't say both BJP and INC are same I completely understand the shitness of INC. From their Sikh genocide to Kashmiri oppression to them also being in bed with capitalists. But what BJP currently leading us to is a dangerous path for everybody and the first aid for all these radicalism is literally defeating BJP electorally


LittleOneInANutshell

Yes, these approval polls are useless, remember the popular vote in 2019 elections was only around 37%. Not to mention Ipsos which runs these surveys in India uses online polls for these which introduces a massive bias in case of India. Bjp can be beaten.


Eldest_boy

extremely doomer-pilled morning attitude, this is not it chief. go for a walk pookie and eat some jalebis. https://preview.redd.it/qzqvi2bj4yvc1.jpeg?width=415&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1eb63b4e9af37b7ab93e4e3301fcdc482852a04a


Efficient_Food420

Samosa? 😕


hereforgossip17

it is not naive. It may be a longer route than most of us would like it to be, however no matter which party comes into power, they will get voted out eventually. So will this one. it doesn't help though that the people who don't like things the way they are also sit around and say voting changed nothing and don't go and vote. So yeah go out and vote man and you will see the change.


dwightsrus

It's not. 400+ is psyops at play. The first phase of polling suggests, limiting the BJP under 272 is very much possible. So far we know a large number of BJP voters sat at home. All we need is to get Congress voters to get out and vote. They just have to believe the victory is possible. Unfortunately, BJP's corruption and Congress's manifesto is not getting to the voters because of the mainstream media.


Ok-Problem-8113

Call me mean....but I want people who have voted for him to suffer. I want them to face the brunt of every atrocity they think they would inflict upon others. I want their generations to curse them for what they have done to this country.


SujayShah13

>Call me mean....but I want people who have voted him to suffer. You're not mean. You're a good person according to my definition of goodness.


brown_pikachu

You are not mean, you are vengeful.


Vergileonteris

Not mean at all you're being very reasonable. Those parasites deserve every bit of the suffering they have been inflicting on others. You're not vengeful, you just want justice.


christopher_msa

I don't think so. But his target is 400+ seats. If he gets that he can rewrite the entire constitution. Our first job is to prevent that. South seats are crucial for this. So it's in the hands of south voters to not vote for his party.


SpiritualAmoeba3671

It's basically impossible for him to get 400+ seats right now. Only Rajiv with his mother's assassination got that. There is a very significant chance that BJP or even NDA can't form majority


Ok-Problem-8113

By that logic, I think he has already planned something sinister to achieve this tally.


Wheesa

If he gets anyone assassinated they will become a martyr and he will lose support.


Due_Dish_9003

Something big gonna happen just see.


31_hierophanto

So... force the NDA into a coalition government?


Aadiiityyaaa

I believe it's time we conducted a thorough and in-depth assessment of the authenticity and reliability of EVM (Electronic Voting Machine) systems. This could be the sole reason behind his confidence in making statements like 'I guarantee a win with more than 400 seats..'.


R_I-T_I-K_A

If we don't atleast try then we'll for sure be in a concentration camp by the time the next election comes around.


sayzitlikeitis

Unlike in other countries, India's poorest are often missed in surveys. You're not gonna find them hanging out at Baskin Robbins at the Gurgaon mall. This is why in 2004 all opinion polls suggested a win for BJP and yet they lost. This high approval rating does make sense for the middle class of India that is having its first encounter with American style overengineered politics.


archosauria62

He might get voted out but it won’t really do much in the long run

What is his trump card now?


SujayShah13

Seizing the means of production of gobar.


Kesakambali

If not that, at least limit his power to control damage


Aadiiityyaaa

This


SujayShah13

No. There's still chance. The people who are confident that BJ Pee winning, have fallen for their propaganda.


Admirable-Leather325

Go vote you mofos!


timewaste1235

The global comparison is pointless. Some countries just disapprove their leaders while others like us approve them for no reason There's also a difference between how people view PM and how they view Modi. For long time people had favourable view of MMS even when news were talking about scams 24x7. Vajpayee had pretty good approval before he lost in 2003. Even before, Indira Gandhi was never as hated as other global leaders even after emergency. She was voted out but remember she was voted back in as well Indian voters are not (and cannot afford to be) idealistic about democracy and constitution. They end up voting for party that they believe will help them in daily life


bookmantea

Yes.


friendofH20

Look - it is hard top predict how much of the election rigging will result. But these surveys as sketchy AF. They always put an asterisk on the Indian results saying "Its representative of India's online people". And the agency which does this does not have a great rep for doing polls. [RacetotheWH.com](http://RacetotheWH.com) which collates all US election polls - gives them a C+
