Seriously, fuck that. Pick a damn lane, you don't not vote when Hitler/his modern day political equivalents are in the picture...

What's Nikki Haley's deal besides she's a she?

Then we should all vote for the guy that allowing genocide like Hitler did, right?!? Because genocide is the lesser evil, right?

I think you shouldn't do what actual Hitler's protègé wants and

Biden was never getting my vote anyway. Red fascist, blue fascist, its all fascism. And there is NO acceptable level of evil.

Does it bother you that you're kind of doing what Republicans "want you to do" and disenfranchise yourself reflexively?

Definitely interestedin your perspectives but I would also like to get your commentary on the notion :)

I'm not disenfranchised, the oligarchy has done this

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So you're bucking what Repubs want?

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I disdain republicans as much as I do democrats. Both uphold white supremacy with an air of arrogance.

I hate their disingenuousness but they are kind of the last stop before total fascism and modern-day...I dunno. Like, someone should model out whats going to happen if Trump wins. Do a horror movie like The Purge 2 or something

Dems do nothing to prevent or roll back some of the harmful legislation. Their ratchet effect prevents it from slipping back.

To be clear: I put a frowny face because it's an option some people take, but I wasn't endorsing it.

Ah k but I still think its worthwhile to address it, I think I actually upvoted you because I wanted to take a stab at the idea not you ;)

Edit: Ya I definitely upvoted u. I'm weird like that, a comment has to be pretty agregious or me pretty out of sorts to generally downvote something I think is relevant even if its disagreeable
