    Uh… I think the 2-year long mass protests might’ve had something to do with it. Less sarcastically, trying to reduce the Serbian anti-authoritarian struggle to “going out and voting” is not just factually bullshit but also frankly insulting.

      Nah the wannabe terrorists keep telling me that voting is “useless” and pointless and that we need to get violent (including you btw). Why can’t you just admit that you were blatantly wrong instead of being intentionally disingenuous? Both Hungary and Serbia have voted out fascists now.

      Feeling a little called because you’re one of those folks who pushes for violence online but doesn’t even go to protests or vote?

        Ah, yes, the famously violent example of MLK.

        Both Hungary and Serbia have voted out fascists now.

        If Serbia just “voted out fascists,” then what were they doing for the past two years? Interpretive dancing?

        Conclusion: This is completely unserious. Get a life.

      You can both vote and protest.

      Those aren’t mutually exclusive options.

      If they protested, yet sat on their hands when asked to vote. We wouldn’t be seeing this headline.

          You mean going out and voting rather than pointless posturing online works?

          ???

          You’re going to need to point this out to me.

            You clearly implied that the Serbians just went out and voted, not that they spent two years getting sent to hospitals and jails in order to even have an election to vote in. You chose to focus on literally the least consequential part of that series of events, thereby diminishing everything else in order to fit your agenda. It’s like saying “see, the New Deal came because people voted for FDR” and neglecting to even allude to the literal decades American workers spent bleeding and dying before something like that happened.

              Which they did. That’s kinda how elections work.

              not that they spent two years getting sent to hospitals and jails in order to even have an election to vote in.

              No i didn’t. I mentioned online posturing, not real world action. the exact thing you’re doing now.

              You chose to focus on literally the least consequential part of that series of events

              How do you suppose they vote someone out without voting?

              And once again. I was calling out people who’ll sit of their arse and talk about what they Would do, not what they’re actually doing.

              thereby diminishing everything else in order to fit your agenda

              My agenda of saying that pointless posturing online without the basic action of voting is pointless?

      Exactly. These people have been holding the streets for literally years, being attacked by paramilitaries - so not your No Kings Parades. They didn’t just vote harder for Democrats who are pretty much to the right of even Vucic.

      frankly insulting

      It’s always ‘just vote harder’ with these partisan assholes, who just kind of ignore the last 40 years of history since the Reagan Administration, and the geographical and political differences between the US and other countries.
