sorry for the typo.

the comments make it incredibly obvious to me ive struck a bit of a nerve here, so I am going to move my comment into the body so maybe there is a little less confusion.

“for the record, i do believe in voting. i dont believe that an individual vote matters, and i dont believe the will of the public is the deciding factor in policymaking. at the very least i believe in federal voting as harm reduction for the time being, but i will not pretend a democrat in office stops innocent lives or our liberties being taken from us.”

alt text: a 4 panel comic where character A says “if you don’t want biden to win, you must support trump” character 2 says “i don’t accept moral responsibility for the corporate owned two party system” the comic ends with character 1 growing angry at this response and calling character 2 a fascist.

    You didn’t make it too clear initially, but you’re basically saying, “I’m anti fascism and will vote for whatever the least harmful option is. Voting for the least harmful option does not mean you are pro that option”, right?

      correct, this is not encouragement not to vote, it is a rejection of moral responsibility for the way the system prevents us from making a choice that stops kids in cages, elimination of trans rights, or the genocide in palestine.
