    That doesn’t make anything the person you responded to, wrong. Not participating is the same as not voting which the consequences were outlined above. Anyone that doesn’t vote for Biden because he’s not catering to them as some sort of “fuck you” to the system, is a fucking idiot. The thought that somehow the alternative is a better option is asinine. Life’s not fair, and sometimes no. Preferred decisions have to be made. In this particular case, there’s only one right decision. Every other choice aligns with Trump, Russia, and fascism, and is therefore, the wrong decision.

        You’re wrong, but ok. In a FPtP system, you have two options. Learning these lessons as you put it, is like throwing people under a runaway bus to slow it down. The consequences are far worse when you side with fascism, which is exactly what you’re promoting.

            If those people that already are in a bad place think that voting for the worst candidate, which will for sure make things worse for them, will some how send a message and spark change, those people are idiots. That’s not how reality works. Vote for Biden and live to fight another day, or give up and vote fascist. Two options as it has always been.

            Neoliberals aren’t going to compromise, they only compromise with facists. Not voting doesn’t spark change, it just intensifies the suffering of those vulnerable people. If you want change you have to riot. But you can do that and still vote so long as you avoid a felony conviction.

        Um, has that ever worked? Did voting for Nader do anything in 2000? I mean, besides install Dumbya? Same question about voting for Stein in 2016…

            Trump means an intensification of the genocide in Palestine. It will also kill a lot of vulnerable people in the US. It will also help push the right forward elsewhere in the world, since the US is an enormous, hegemonic force.

            And you are putting your mark of approval on “lol, I don’t give a shit”

            Genocide will happen regardless. Israel is going to do it no matter what and it will be worse for the actual people dying if finish the job trump is reelected. But hey who cares because you want more people to suffer to teach democrats a lesson.

        If trump getting elected isn’t going to teach them anything. It’s just going to let fascists break the system further, and reduce the chance that things can get better in the future.

        If you want to send a message you have to riot.
