EXACTLY.
Yes, I get it, things are shit. Innocent people and children are dying. You can and should be upset about that. But we don't have the luxury of taking our ball and going home. Even more people are going to get hurt if Biden doesn't win.
It's a myth that there isn't anything to vote for, only against. We have LGBT rights to vote for. Minority rights. Protecting vulnerable Americans. Stopping fascism.
Let my future kids and their kids call me a genocide supporters for voting for Biden. As long as they can identify as who they want and love who they want without any persecution, I'll accept the condemnation.
Genocide is okay as long as it happens somewhere else. AmIRite?
Not in the slightest. But allowing more genocides to grow and occur throughout the world because you're angry about one genocide in particular is absurd.
We can't save everyone, and we have to accept that. That doesn't mean we can't try to save as many people as possible, however.
