because of the people you’re sucking up to here

wtf are you talking about? Again, I’m not justifying not voting, I’m explaining that not voting doesn’t mean “I’m happy either way”.

you’re arguing for the both sides are the same front

No I'm not, I literally said "even though the alternative is worse". And again, I’m not justifying not voting, I’m explaining that not voting doesn’t mean “I’m happy either way”.

I’m not justifying not voting, I’m explaining that not voting doesn’t mean “I’m happy either way”. If you were a Palestinian and watched the Democratic party continue to arm the Israeli Defence Forces as they targeted civilians, you might find it hard to give them your vote, even though the alternative is worse. Have more compassion.

I agree there is a lot of voter apathy. But I can appreciate the perspective, a two party system becomes about choosing the least shit candidate. The US has one more political party than North Korea, it’s the illusion of choice when the vast majority of eligible voters have no say in who those two candidates are. The system is flawed and the only people that can change the system benefit from the status quo. So while I don’t agree with it, I can appreciate people wanting to disengage from politics in the US.

I assume the majority of folks in Florida retirement communities voted for Trump but Dale’s property was in Arizona and I doubt it was in a retirement community.

I’m left in Canada which is the US equivalent of a more left leaning Bernie Sanders. I’m a veteran, I have a rifle, and I support increased gun controls. Granted my rifle is hot pink so it’s not exactly combat ready.

Maybe it’s ten Zs or iron

Thanks Obama…

An influx of folks moving away from US social media companies. The the twitter exodus of late 2022 but for all US platforms
