If you don't vote you're assenting to whatever the majority decides.
you are ascenting to the majority decision if you DO vote
There's a difference in between being able to say "I voted against this" vs not.
if it's wrong, it's wrong no matter how or if i voted
So do what you can to prevent as much wrongness as you can.
i'm not going to vote for joe biden. i'll vote for jill stein or cornel west, but not joe biden.
GO AHEAD! THROW YOUR VOTE AWAY! AH HA HA HA HA HA!
i just said i'd be using it, not throwing it away.

thank you for the context
And if you vote for red or blue you are supporting a corrupted criminal murderer with blood on his hands
Yes you are, both red and blue ceos are corrupted criminals if you vote for them you are supporting them. If hitler says they want to give money to beggars that does not change that they are evil and their agenda is bad for the world. These parties have been in power for the past century and both the ceos are in their 70s, what were they doing when their party was in power decades ago and not giving a shit about LGBTQ+ rights?
People in gaza and in the middle east are dying right now by the thousand.
how so?

You are supposed to open these link and read them
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_support_for_Israel_in_the_2023_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war
this impugning of wikipedia is intellectually dishonest and lazy, to boot. reading the entry this user posted will give you an understanding of the conspiracy theory that he is pigeonholing with the accusation of genocide. one of them has merit, and the fact that both of them have explanatory articles in an encyclopedia does not undermine the content of either of those articles. i encourage everyone to read the reptillian article first, to establish an understanding of the editorial standards at wikipedia. doing so will give you a good grasp of how to approach the article linked by index@shitjustworks
Wikipedia is public, updated and cross checked with multiple sources. Something dishonest and lazy are these fools that don't even bother reading a wikipedia page when it is linked.

Let's be honest, the majority don't get to decide around these parts
Then in some cases (the Republicans have won the national popular vote once in my lifetime, I'm almost 30) you're assenting to whatever the minority decides, which is even worse
True dat.
