    It’s pretty sad how many people are downvoting this kind of article that goes over the actual feelings of people trying to vote their conscious and do the right thing. People should actually read the article and understand what’s happening in swing states like Michigan. Ignoring the problem isn’t going to make it go away.

    At the end of the day, we’re being presented with a little bit of a false choice: If people can be protesting on this scale, and we don’t have an option that can align with that, and you can suppress anti-genocide voters in that calculus, I don’t know what kind of democracy you’re protecting. And that’s really heavy. My sister is trying to fill in her ballot, and she’s like, “I feel physically nauseous.” That’s real. If I see a shredded child on my timeline again, I don’t know what I’m expected to do, like, vote for that?

      They don’t care. They just want to maintain the status quo.

        Any form of criticism of the Democrats is seen as an automatic endorsement of Trump. The result is when articles like this are posted here, the community doesn’t want to acknowledge this problem exists. Democrats have a very big chance of losing Michigan, and no one wants to acknowledge it.

          Critical thinking is needed. You can’t win on “joy” and vibes
