You might care if someone close to you, who was a closeted gay, is ripped out of their home one night and never heard from again? Maybe a family member, with a black spouse, is lynched for daring to marry a white woman? Or, even closer to home, perhaps a tweet or post you made from 2010 suddenly becomes against a decency law and you’re questioned, tortured, and jailed for it?
At what point, exactly, would it behoove you to care? When it’s your neck on the line only?
George Carlin would have been smart enough to realize the dangers we were facing. I’m not a huge fan of Biden or the DNC but my vote will be a vote against Trump.
Then you abide the greater evil. The choice of not taking a side is still itself a choice. If you have friends, family, colleagues that would be effected by the outcome of the election, and you decide to not participate, you are doing them a disservice.
To anyone that genuinely doesn’t like either party, I think that you can still vote for a third party in the US? The system is rigged against them, but any little helps.
Or just ruin your ballot to show dissatisfaction in the status quo and maybe give the counters a good laugh.
You screw the Canadians, Mexicans, Ukrainians, and a bunch of normal countries around the world, not to mention some other friends across the pond.
Protest voting is exactly what Trump is hoping people will do because he knows his constuency is too small if people turn out to vote in greater numbers.
Oh yeah, voting for the “lesser evil” is what people should do. But if you’ve already decided to vote for neither anyway, you may as well protest vote for the benefit of whatever world exists next election.
Probably a managed democracy like Russia. I wouldn’t be suprised if Trump ‘ran’ for a third term after this one. He’s going to fuck the voting system if he wins again. Not to mention all the horrific shit in project 2025, which will fire most of the non-aligned government staff running stuff like NOAA. Good luck with hurricane and fire predictions when the head of NOAA is some Amazon author, lmao.

I say this with a 100% genuine and serious tone: this is a truly, truly stupid take.
I really, earnestly, sincerely mean it. Vastly stupid take.
Congratulations on being part of the problem

We can blame you because voting is part of your duty living in a democracy.

That’s how you end up with the bigger evil.
Dumbass

By saying that you’re admitting you’re ok with a Trump dictatorship. Fuck off.

Why should politicans do good things and care about you if you don’t vote?
Why should you care about politicians and vote when they don’t do good things?
It goes both ways.
