They'll come demanding our votes any day now

Although that is true, you were never promised a fair world.

You need to use all your cunning and what little power you have to best negotiate the one you live in. Being able to vote democrats in gave you two parties to play against each other. The option of a lesser evil.

By not voting, and allowing the republicans to stack the supreme court, non-voters gave away their last bargaining chip.

It is not the parties that will burn.

Don’t call them non voters. They made a choice and their vote is being counted by the analysts. They’re neutral voters.

At the Democrat strategy meetings where they run the numbers and decide on the party platform, these people are considered part of the “apolitical” demographic. The Democrats are stupid and will move the party platform rightwards to try and appeal to them. Principles don’t fix stupid.

“Maybe we can do a bit more genocide to find a middle ground between those who want to kill latinos and those who dont”

Like I said, they’re stupid.

Like I said, principles don’t fix stupid. If you don’t vote, they’ll just act stupider.

if you voted for them you voted for genociders. You’re an utter piece of shit.

The two party system will prevail as long as you keep voting for the same two parties.

Because of your neutral vote, the Democrats are going further right and killing more kids. You’ve got blood on your hands.
Ah yes if you don’t vote for genociders you’re a genocider. Water is dry and war is peace.

Fuck the democrats. We still have to vote for whatever the other option is here. There are Christi-fascists in power right now. I would fucking love to get excited about a candidate that has an actual plan to materially improve the lives of the working class. But we are not in that position right now. We are fucked, so let’s get literally any non-fascist in to the Presidency. From there we have to find someone who will take us leftward.

Abstaining is a selfish position.

There is a path we have to follow to get where we need to be. Israel should be made to pay dearly for what they have done and continue to do. The entire government as well as anyone who has served in the IOF should be at The Hague.

Grow the hell up.

fuck the Democrats, but still vote for them because they are our only hope to continue the facism they’ve helped enable.

This is what you sound like

So you have to stop the fucking bleeding. The tourniquet is painful, but unfortunately is needed for the moment. I’m all for tearing the system down, but we have zero chance of that happening right now.

What’s your solution? An actual viable plan? Or do you decide not to participate?

Let’s come back to reality, where solutions are messy, and take time.
