So many people talking about how they don’t care about who is elected next resounds of the remarkable privelage of someone who doesn’t need to care about the result. Like calling against “”" Blue MAGA"“” and “Vote Blue No Matter Who.”
I’m a trans person, who exactly are you asking me to vote for? Have you ever seen a republican politician. Describe to me which republican politician doesn’t want to take away the rights of trans people?
To you they may mean nothing, to me it’s everything and you CANNOT convince me by insulting me. The democrats wish to use people like me as a token, it’s degrading, digusting, and I hate them every step of the way. The republicans want me dead.
These two sides are different and if you wish for me to vote someone different get someone on stage who gives a shit about people like me and I’ll vote for them under any banner. Until then the future is looking pretty blue.
Yeah, from your angle the General tends to turn into “Do I vote for the person who thinks I’m icky and weird or do I vote for the person who wants to send me to a camp?”
I’d hate to be in your shoes, but the choice is clear.
It’s not even just me is the thing, that’s how it is for a ton of minorities. We know the democrats are racist AF but there’s a big difference between subtle racism and historic revisionism of racism the US history + concentration camps.
Then there’s actual allies who realize we’re all in a fucked situation where we can’t afford to abandon portions of pur population
Please note this next bit isn’t directed at you its more continuing the thought of my original comment.
“Oh but if you would stop voting for the lesser evil.”
I’m sorry where is the not evil party? I don’t see independents up in the polls and the lesser evil party just lost to a felon sex offender who screams racist shit about people eating dogs. It is very clear people want to elect evil parties.
No, you’re good, I’ve been saying the same thing (to the disdain of many) throughout this thread.
It’s just the mathematics of how the US Constitution is set up; you generally can’t have a viable third party. The US is going too far right, and to go further left you have to vote for the leftmost party. Anyone who made it through grade-school should understand the sad truth of the matter, but we have plenty of people who either didn’t or are pretending they didn’t to help the fascists win.
As we opened our eyes to in 2016, there’s tons of foreign interest in influencing US elections. Russia in particular has a vested interest in helping Trump’n’Co.; he’s the first president (and as a result, party) in a long time that has openly embraced Putin and Russia’s oligarchs in general.
I’m sure some of the people encouraging voter apathy in this very thread aren’t foreign election meddlers and are just naive, but there’s no way to tell who’s who.
