Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I'll proceed to describe in this post the gigantic amount of political change and sweeping reforms we will achieve when we valiantly protest against the system by not voting up until we get the turnout to 10%:
And don't act like voting is a blood oath. You're not pledging undying loyalty to a candidate - you're saying you'd prefer them over the other plausible options. Nobody gives a shit if they're your special favorite. You think we love these people? No. They're just the best we could do, arguing with thousands of other assholes.
If that's "the lesser evil," sure, why the fuck would you want more evil? It's not like staying home means nobody gets to be president.
Even Geralt of Rivia eventually had to admit the the path of 'choosing none of the evils' Just Does Not Work.
Yeah, a moral dilemma doesn't just go away if you ignore it. An outcome will happen. You are invited to influence it. Have an opinion, dammit.
Always vote, whenever you have the option.
General election, primary, whatever.
You should always make your voice heard. There's also more important elections going on that are more directly impactful to you (i.e. local elections).
Vote for your class. Ignore the ideology.
Oh, I'll be voting.
For Claudia De La Cruz.
EDIT: People hard mad about this lmao
2000 was decided by hundreds of votes. 2020 was decided by thousands of votes. Don't play stupid games with democracy, to risk an outright fascist doing the horrible shit he's openly said he wants to do.
Only two candidates stand any chance of winning.
One of them tried subverting the 2020 election in at least seven distinct criminal attacks. And he's even more of an Israel fanboy. You gain absolutely fucking nothing by pretending your no-name no-chance nobody is some kind of statement. Make statements with your mouth. Use your ballot to prevent electing a dictator.
So basically you won't be voting.
You will make no measurable impact on the outcome of the election. The election where one of two specific people will take power. And one of them already tried to end American democracy.
She can win if you vote for her 😘
No she fucking can't.
Grow up.
Grow up and vote for the genocide, sweaty.
Tell me with a straight face The Idiot would do anything better, vis-a-vis Israel. Lie to me good.
Moral dilemmas don't go away if you smug at them hard enough.
First candidate to not support genocide gets my vote.
Okay I mean this is marginally better, at least you're voting, but still until some sort of change happens a vote third party is a vote thrown away
100% agree with this. All of it.
I'm deeply dissatisfied with Biden. I'm angry with him for not pressuring Israel, and I was already angry at him even before that. And I will likely end up voting against him in the primary because of it. But realistically:
(1) He will be the Democratic nominee for President
(2) He is an infinitely better choice than the fascist who already attempted a coup once
(3) Either he or Trump will be the next president
There really is only one way to go in the general. Especially if you're here on Blahaj, which means you're either LGBTQ+ or at least friendly to us.
