claim 1: “voting doesn’t change anything”

Never forget the recent case of Kris Mayes, who refuses to uphold the Arizona supreme court’s sweeping ban of abortion.

Kris Mayes only won her 2022 election by 280 votes. Voting changes things.

claim 2: “but genocide joe”

Yep. Hold that fucker’s feet to the fire. He has blood on his hands

But trump has promised to be indisputably worse.

I won’t tell you how to vote. I just encourage you to vote. You’re not radical for ditching the only miniscule right the state has granted you to do some small aid for your neighbors.

    Again, you keep saying “not voting” like they are just playing Call of Duty and cant be bothered.

    They are abstaining. There is a difference. When no viable candidate is presented, you abstain. That is the correct thing to do.

    Voting for fascism and genocide because that’s all that’s available is the wrong way to go about it.

      There is a difference

      Literally, mathematically, there is not.

        Mathematically, the sweeping majority of Americans are registered Independent, so why are the “only options” Republican or Democrat?

        Oh ya, fascism. Enabled by people feeling bullied to vote for people they do not actually endorse.

          so why are the “only options” Republican or Democrat?

          The first past the post voting system.

          All of you “literally every bad thing is fascism” people are a) morons in need of a civics class, and b) providing cover for the actual, real fascism that’s attempting to overthrow our democracy.
