I’m pretty sure in 2024 the Dems platformed someone who didn’t want a genocide in this country. Mamdani seems like a pretty good dude, and he’s in the general because he won the primary over said piece of shit. So the system can work. Or we can all be pessimists and let the fascists continue to run roughshod because the Democrats aren’t woke enough or whatever.

Yet you want me to keep voting for the people that aren’t doing much.

No, I want you to vote against the people who literally hate you and want to take everything from you to make you a slave. And in the general elections, that means voting Democrats. If you don’t like who’s being presented then actively work for the people who you do like, and help them win the primaries. People like me didn’t make the system we have, but we’re stuck with it. And now we have Trump actively working to destroy free and fair elections, ICE deporting hard working legal immigrants, JFK Jr. destroying our health department, the wife of the owner of WWE dismantling the department of education, etc. etc. etc. because god forbid we elect a woman who isn’t a communist. And here I thought the Inflation Reduction Act and student loan forgiveness were actually good things.

What a weird take to say out loud.

And now we get to the fascists beginning to disarm their enemies phase. After that it won’t be long before they label registered Democrats as mentally defective.

I’m not trying to force anyone to even think a particular way, let alone DO something. But when the choice is the person who literally wants you dead vs someone who’s willing to maybe marginalize you in the current political environment, I would mildly urge you to maybe kindly vote against the guy with a gun to your head who will pull the trigger when he wins. Just sayin’. Maybe focus on the marginalization issue next season before it gets to the gun to the head again. “FUCK YOU KILL ME” isn’t really the best choice in my humble opinion.

On voting day, you have a choice. Vote for the evil empire or vote for the opposition. I’m not sure what you think voting for Uncle Earl waving a happy face flag off to the side is going to accomplish. Moral victories are only victories if the morals actually have victories. We all knew what the choices were in 2024. Any anyone who didn’t vote for Harris in the general election voted for what we got. End of story.

You know how you get a government that reflects your morals? You start by electing a government that actually gives a shit about you in the first place, not by writing in someone who will never be your government.

When it comes to US national politics at the end of the day you have to choose. When it comes to the president, you have 3choices. The Republican, the Democrat, or tossing your vote. It doesn’t matter if you write in Mickey Mouse, vote for that Green Party lady, Lindon LeRouche or whomever, you and I both know that you’re throwing away your vote, and chances are handing it to the Republican nominee. Your “morals” mean nothing. You shit on the rest of us to make some point that literally nobody will be impacted by, because you gave the Devil your vote. In conclusion, fuck you.

Please educate me how not voting, thereby allowing the fascists to take control (we’re already there so it’s not theoretical) helps improve things. You didn’t vote for the Bad Centrist Democrats so instead now we have the one party fascist rule that those tewwibwe centwists cwied about.You’ re so righteous and we all feel inferior to your non-voting prowess.

I’m sure Hitler will totally understand your concerns.

I’ll be sure to kowtow to the voters who are above voting for the Democratic choice as they hand their votes to the fascists who want to kill them, reminding myself that the people who would have defended their lives just didn’t… what, make enough medical centers? WTF exactly is good enough to get you to vote against Hitler, when THE CHOICE IS HITLER OR NOT HITLER

ITT: Yet more righteous liberals extolling the virtues of not voting for the only party that can actually stand against the Fourth Reich, literally at all.

Please, inform us plebs on how not voting for the Democratic nominee will help improve things.

Yes, actually.
