Get fucked. Biden and the majority of Democrats in Congress are actively seeking to fund the genocide of the Palestinians. Trump is 1000% worse, but I will not vote for any of them, fuck em all.🖕
This country gets what it fucking deserves and I’m not going to be complicit in any of it any more. I’ll tend to myself, my loved ones, and my chosen community, thanks.
At least go and put in a spoiled ballot if youre going to participate in this bullshit fucking liberal abstainiousness.
“BUT THEYRE BOTH BAD, I HAVE THE MORAL HIGHGROUND BY NOT VOTING”
Don’t care. Vote. If you dont go and submit something then you dont get to complain when the actual genocidal fascist is elected and decides to just glass the entire region.
Our obligation is to vote for the least bad option on an election year, and then in the interim years, protest, riot, mail, and petition to make the necessary changes.
Can I have your phone number to give to the loved ones of anyone who dies in a Trump-promoted genocide, or gets imprisoned within the US for the crime of being trans, or whatever he does? You can talk to that person about how you’re tending to yourself and your chosen community.
All right I can tell you’re being stubborn but I hope you do give this some thought. It’s not just the president you can vote for. There are many things that you decide on including items that will affect you personally.
I’m not even going to be living in this state (Texas) come November as I am moving on to friendlier climes. Both of my kids are trans and this is not the state. When I get to my destination, I will register to vote and look into local candidates. But I will not vote for either of the two top candidates for president, nor will I vote for any candidate that supports terrorist states.
For this truly to be the only ethical choice a would-be voter could make, you’ll have to go totally off grid until you achieve full self-sustaining status on your homestead. Electricity, water, road access, these are things that we take for granted but could easily be things lost due to bad policy making. Refusing to interact with the trolley problem is the same as allowing the trolley to run over the larger group of people.
So courageous of you. That’ll really help those people you claim to care about. I’m glad you’re able to make a genocide about you and how you feel about it. You’re so morally superior for choosing the path of giving up and ignoring things you don’t understand, I hope you still feel smug about not supporting our society for being imperfect while trump starts putting people in camps.
Edit: also, from someone that actually chose to spend their life trying to do something about the shit you’re talking about: go fuck yourself. It’s so fuckin annoying seeing so many people on Lemmy think the most moral thing is to give up and ignore the problems of others while simultaneously using those problems against those who actually try to make a fucking difference. It’s basically “well you didn’t fix it so it’s your fault”.
I am doing something to fix this shit. I teach high school, and I instill empathy in my students every fucking day. What the fuck do you do? I’ve been voting the lesser of two evils for almost 30 years, and guess what, cunt? Society is the most cruel and evil it’s ever been.

You are complicit with the result of the vote as long as you live in the country where it takes place.
I’m not voting for a genocide-funding, ethnic cleansing apologist. End of story. 🖕

Write in a candidate at least. It’s better than not voting at all and then watching your country crumble without putting in your voice.
No.

Thanks for the conversation. I hope you find a place where your kids feel safe and you find leadership you like.
