Both candidates literally have been genocidaires in the last 2 elections. And I voted my conscience. But I also acknowledged that my vote is not where my power to change things lies, because literally every choice I could make led to genocide in my name on my dollar. There was no choice I could make that would change anything. Not least of which because I am in a blue state that has so rarely voted Republican in the presidential election that the electoral college made my vote statistically impotent. But I live in a very red district of that blue state and I voted my conscience there as well acknowledging that literally nothing would change because my position was share by so few people that even if every single one of us came out to vote it wouldn’t change a damn thing. The solution is not at the ballot box.
You can vote and pursue change through other means-- which it looks like you have done. The only losing move is to not participate in the election at all.
So the solution is get off the trolley but keep supporting the people that are creating the trolley situation?
They don’t require your support to hold elections. What would “not supporting” elections by not voting do, exactly?
Who said anything about not voting? Liberals have locked themselves into a binary system of oppression that they claim to oppose
I said ‘vote the lesser evil’ you opposed. So I’d say you said that.
Ok, are you proposing to vote? For whom?
Literally whomever isn’t a genocidaire
Ok. If the top two candidates both qualified as a “genocidaire” to you, what would you do? Vote third party? Not vote?
