Then you abide the greater evil. The choice of not taking a side is still itself a choice. If you have friends, family, colleagues that would be effected by the outcome of the election, and you decide to not participate, you are doing them a disservice.
You might care if someone close to you, who was a closeted gay, is ripped out of their home one night and never heard from again? Maybe a family member, with a black spouse, is lynched for daring to marry a white woman? Or, even closer to home, perhaps a tweet or post you made from 2010 suddenly becomes against a decency law and you’re questioned, tortured, and jailed for it?
At what point, exactly, would it behoove you to care? When it’s your neck on the line only?
George Carlin would have been smart enough to realize the dangers we were facing. I’m not a huge fan of Biden or the DNC but my vote will be a vote against Trump.
To anyone that genuinely doesn’t like either party, I think that you can still vote for a third party in the US? The system is rigged against them, but any little helps.
Or just run your ballot to show dissatisfaction in the status quo and maybe give the counters a good laugh.
You screw the Canadians, Mexicans, Ukrainians, and a bunch of normal countries around the world, not to mention some other friends across the pond.
Protest voting is exactly what Trump is hoping people will do because he knows his constuency is too small if people turn out to vote in greater numbers.
Oh yeah, voting for the “lesser evil” is what people should do. But if you’ve already decided to vote for neither anyway, you may as well protest vote for the benefit of whatever world exists next election.
That’s the thing, there’s like a 1% chance he actually wins… Democrats, not the DNC, are still pushing Biden to leave with the most recent news stating that he will not only cost us the presidency but the house as well.
Republicans will have full control to make absolutely whatever law they wish with a very friendly SCOTUS picked specifically for their willingness to enact the heritage foundations most vile wishes… The future is insanely bleak in the US. :(
Depends on November. Vote.
No thanks, not wasting my time with lesser of two evils
Why should politicans do good things and care about you if you don’t vote?
Why should you care about politicians and vote when they don’t do good things?
It goes both ways.
That’s how you end up with the bigger evil.
Then you abide the greater evil. The choice of not taking a side is still itself a choice. If you have friends, family, colleagues that would be effected by the outcome of the election, and you decide to not participate, you are doing them a disservice.
I say this with a 100% genuine and serious tone: this is a truly, truly stupid take.
I really, earnestly, sincerely mean it. Vastly stupid take.
Dumbass
Congratulations on being part of the problem
Nope, can’t blame me cause I didn’t vote them into office. George Carlin said it best.
i blame you 🤷♂️
Cry about it
We can blame you because voting is part of your duty living in a democracy.
That’s fine, still won’t care

Trans enby here.
If you want to avoid those horror stories, then stop whining at people who have lost faith in the Democrats and start doing something to restore it.
Oh look, downvotes for telling people they catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?
We could list what-ifs all day, waste of my time to even humor them

Lol, George “They call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it” Carlin?
He’d be telling people to quit putting their faith in politicians, not yelling at them to shut up and vote.

By saying that you’re admitting you’re ok with a Trump dictatorship. Fuck off.
Oh no,anyways
Does it though?
To anyone else reading this: yes
To you: don’t be a contrarian douche
My grocery bill will keep going up. Nobody will fix this.
My bad.
It’ll get worse, or even way worser than worse.
Biden has done a lot of good in his first term, so there’s no real reason to think it’ll get worse in a second term.
That’s the thing, there’s like a 1% chance he actually wins… Democrats, not the DNC, are still pushing Biden to leave with the most recent news stating that he will not only cost us the presidency but the house as well.

Okay, so what are you proposing exactly?
Just hand it to them?
Of course not, I was just commenting on the fact that I seriously doubt there will even be a second term.
Yes
