    Not voting is an option :(

    (Edit to add: To be clear, I put a frowny face because it’s an option some people take, but I wasn’t endorsing it. And I’m not American…)

      Seriously, fuck that. Pick a damn lane, you don’t not vote when Hitler/his modern day political equivalents are in the picture…

      What’s Nikki Haley’s deal besides she’s a she?

        Then we should all vote for the guy that allowing genocide like Hitler did, right?!? Because genocide is the lesser evil, right?

            Biden was never getting my vote anyway. Red fascist, blue fascist, its all fascism. And there is NO acceptable level of evil.

              Does it bother you that you’re kind of doing what Republicans “want you to do” and disenfranchise yourself reflexively?

              Definitely interestedin your perspectives but I would also like to get your commentary on the notion :)

                I’m not disenfranchised, the oligarchy has done this

                    I disdain republicans as much as I do democrats. Both uphold white supremacy with an air of arrogance.

          Ah k but I still think its worthwhile to address it, I think I actually upvoted you because I wanted to take a stab at the idea not you ;)

          Edit: Ya I definitely upvoted u. I’m weird like that, a comment has to be pretty agregious or me pretty out of sorts to generally downvote something I think is relevant even if its disagreeable

      Not voting is still choosing Dem or GOP; it’s just silencing your own preference between the two and putting your faith in your countrymen to make the right decision… many hundreds of thousands of which are fucking morons.

      I really, strongly encourage you to show up and pick the least-bad candidate who has a realistic shot at winning.

      Not casting a ballot is the stupidest option available. It will only ever send the message that your opinion doesn’t matter and no party will try to win your vote. Showing up to vote, and casting an empty ballot is how you send the message that all the candidates suck. You’ve proven you have the motivation to show up and as such your opinion matters and candidates will try and win your vote.

          That’s how I interpreted your comment. 👍

        To the down-voter who didn’t reply: Do you really think that not voting motivates a candidate in the next election to seek out your opinions on the issues to win your vote? Has it worked for you yet?
