    Roe got overturned. Climate change is continuing to accelerate and democrats did a lot to make that happen, thats a long discussion though.

    close your eyes and hope for the best

    Again, I voted. I dont care that you think that a vote for a progressive candidate doesnt count, i took action.

      The American education system has failed you. I’m assuming by “a progressive candidate” in this case you mean a third party, but in a first-past-the-post voting system, voting third-party is a protest vote. At best, people voting third-party shows that voters don’t have confidence in the major parties, but at worst it helps your least preferred of the two major parties win the election because you’re not begrudgingly voting for the candidate you hate less. A third-party president is an unimaginable upset.

      But if you’re not living in a swing state nobody cares how you vote for president anyway. Hopefully you got a good option for Congress in the primaries. That’s the only thing I had any chance of influencing at a federal level for this election cycle. I’m not in a swing state and in the final election I only got one option for senate and all one candidate could say was that they weren’t the other candidate.

        None of this is news to me, i know how shit FPTP is and thats why i support getting rid of it. While everyone else that hates it for some reason insists on keeping it.

      I don’t think you understand. This election wasn’t about expressing your moral superiority by not voting for Genocider A or Double Genocider B

      This election was about preventing Double Genocider B from winning. You could only do that by voting Genocide A and sucking up the morally fucked choice. You failed, miserably. Had you voted for A, in 4 years you would have had the chance to happily vote for any third fourth or fifth party your heart desired. Good luck with that now when Trump brcomes God King.

      Good fucking job on wasting your vote away and letting both Ukraine and Palestine get fucked. And the climate.

      You are a fucking imbecile

        For me, the election was about preventing genocide. Again, it is not an option for me.

        in 4 years you would have had the chance to happily vote for any third fourth or fifth party your heart desired.

        I get told this every 4 years. Its always next election.
