thats some very solid advice you get there, what was i thinking not following the system. germans solved so many problems following the system.
i won’t piss even piss on the other viable option if he was lit on napalm. i have never voted for him or his party or volunteered for them. i have done that for dnc for last 20 years.
are you a coward who is afraid of some orange buffon and throw away your vote in fear to reward some lobbyists owned hack who wants to continue genocide that they have already being doing for a year, skyhigh inflation, mega-corp owned housing, wants to promote fracking and waste money on building a wall they were mocking in 2016 and sucking up to war criminals like cheneys who are responsible for thosuands of dead us soldiers and millions of civilians ?
So, you're going with "coward" over "shill"? Good to know.
So here's the thing, by not casting a vote for the only other candidate who has any chance of winning this election, you are inarguably benefitting the other guy. It's simple, it should be self-evident, and if you're having such a hard time understanding it, then that either makes a statement about your ability to evaluate the reality of a situation or casts doubt on how much you really are against him.
Of the two options on the table, and once again there are only two options in this election, any voter who is opposed to the idea of a would-be fascist dictator should be casting a vote for Harris.
You can't "punish" her by withholding a vote, you can only make a Trump victory more likely.
Read that last part again, because you need to understand that it is a statement of the actuality of the matter at hand. By refusing to vote for the only other viable candidate, you've bolstered Trump's chances.
Protesting policy before the election is secured makes as much sense as it does positive impact. Which, to be clear, is none.
I'm sorry for you that you've let your temper tantrum towards the admittedly shitty DNC blind you to voting in the best interest of yourself, your neighbors, and the country as a whole. It's unfortunate for you, if you hate him so much, that you've facilitated him through your misplaced attempt to really show the dems you mean business. I truly hope that Harris emerges successful from this election, and that your mistake doesn't expedite the fascist agenda.
If she does become our next president despite the best efforts of misguided fools, I additionally hope that you will spend similar amounts of effort pushing for meaningful reform in both policy and the administration of our elections as you do maligning the only candidate other than Trump who has a chance at the presidency.
But I'm doubtful.
i applaud the effort you have put here to detail out your opinion. most of the logic here is also valid which may sway me by the election day when my anger and disgust might have cooled down. although remembering the sheer inhumanity of what’s being done in gaza has made me wish most painful of cancer on biden and anyone else enabling it. so voting for someone like that for presidency will be difficult. it makes it very difficult to convince myself that i am voting for a better person.
