    the alternative isn’t not to participate!

    the alternative is to give voice to your true beliefs and desires!

    i guarantee there is a ticket that you would support. you may not believe in the party for socialism and liberation but there is definitely some group that actually represents your politics!

    even if you don’t truly walk away from omelas, never to return, telling the democrat party that you won’t support a genocide isn’t not participating! it’s using your meaningful, powerful voice to tell them that you represent voters they could have if they just don’t run the perpetrator of a genocide!

    stand up and let them know that you won’t tolerate their bullshit!

    imagine even the most goofy outcome, biden steps down at the convention and they run kamala and someone else on a platform of peace. wouldn’t that be balm to your soul? wouldn’t you be proud that you stood up even on the vile and worthless internet for what’s right instead of a poison compromise?

    you have the power to make a difference, use it!

      Down ballot sure, I’m talking about the president. There are two options.

        there literally are not only two options. you can join me and vote la riva. i’m sure the greens are running someone if youre aligned that direction.

        if you just feel petulant that day there’s a whole host of jokers that are always around and while their platforms might be as asinine as “give everyone a pony” (see what i did there?), at least youre not supporting a genocide.

        you have options! your voice matters more in the weird harmony of people calling for the democrats to run anyone but biden than it does in the discordant cacophony of those browbeaten and bullied into pulling the lever for the architect of our broken nation who’s currently pissing away the cost of universal healthcare on weapons shipments to israel!
