    I won’t be voting Republican. No.

    And no, it’s not the same. If it was, then a maga supporter could claim that my uncommitted vote is actually a vote for Biden because I didn’t vote for Trump. Time to give up on this talking point, it’s nonsensical.

      The math is literally there, not voting for the closer candidate to you is identical to voting for the other guy.

      We have been using small words and slow speaking to explain FPTP to you disingenuous mother fuckers since Nader, just fucking stop acting like you’re doing anything except sea lioning because asking these questions in circles forever has better optics than admitting you care more about feeling valid about whatever white kid bullshit you’re on than you do about saving trans lives.

        Tell me, when was the last time a progressive was in the white house? When have we had a progressive house leader? When was the last progressive majority?

        Tell me again where the Democratic opposition to the Patriot Act was? How about FISA surveillance? Hmm, Iraq War? No. Citizens United! Surely you neolibs stood in the way of that, right?

        Nope, you guys have been at the helm for decades, what’s your record actually show? Where are women’s bodily rights again? How about healthcare reform? At least your guys got to force people to pay for private insurance, right? We’re all so grateful to you for that.

        So how’s that opposition to fascism actually going? We elected Biden like you demanded and got a genocide for it. But, maybe you’re right, maybe I’m just not intellectual enough to see how if move the party further and further to the right, to the point where you’re now doing apologetics for a genocide, we’ll eventually turn things around.

      From their perspective not voting for Trump is a vote for Biden, which is why it would be great if they acknowlwedged how awful Trump is and kept their MAGA asses at home.

      That is because not voting is like voting for your personal worst choice.
