In a first past the post system, like the US, not voting is the same as voting for whoever you hate more. If you hate them equally, then it's the same as voting for both.
The next US president will support genocide. We get to pick between the one who supports it a lot vs a little. We get to pick which one we'd rather protest under.
The only way to be not complicit is to leave the country and renounce citizenship.
Nailed it. I’m stealing that, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
I wouldn't protest your use, and since that phrase is mine now I can say that!
Jokes aside, this is exactly it. One option, you can protest it. The other, and you're getting "a very rough hour, real rough".
So.... Yeah. Not voting is supporting more murders by the state, and I hope so many people realize they are being duped with their "non-voting protest" and actually go to the polls. Especially because the presidential election is not the only election that matters.
I can protest about it. For now at least..
i don't buy this "a lot vs a little" thing. its either genocide or its not. and if your voting system doesnt allow for an alternative, then its not a democracy anyway. sounds like a show to me.
It's reality whether you buy it or not. What a silly way of thinking.
Our voting system is barely a democracy and it's totally a show.
But so what? Not participating doesn't fix that. Participating let's us choose the lesser of two evils.
the people calling the shots arent elected. thats true even in my country.
