    Being able to say “I’m not going to vote if there is no progressive candidate, I don’t care if republicans win again” must be nice when you’re not the one being actively hunted down by ICE. But hey, at least you’ll have a good view at immigrants being detained and sent to another alligator alcatraz from your high horse.

      i’m the kind of person that ice is actively hunting down (and was caught back in the 1980’s by ice’s predecessor) and refusing to vote for a pro-empire candidate; trump or not; is the only way to reverse ice’s existence.

      ice has been an incoming thing since 2001. the republicans have accelerated it, the democrats are actively refusing to abolish or reverse it, so supporting either democrats or republicans will not reverse it.

      Liberal nazification has progressed to the point where “not endorsing the r@pe and genocide of millions” is now “being on a high horse”.

      The United States is a strange country. Murder, terrorism and genocide are perfectly normal, but someone who is disgusted by these and refuses to play along is somehow considered weird.

      Being able to vote blue no matter who and going back to brunch with the only change being LGBT flavoured concentration camps and bombs going to to Israel must be nice. Blue MAGA mindset is disgusting

        No matter how you spin there’s an obvious worse option because the alternative (including resigning to vote) includes that and more.

        Obviously there should be a straight up better option that doesn’t include that but you’ve gotta pick the best option out of those you’re dealt. A small step towards good, even if just a side step is better than leaping head first into the maw of evil. Something your votes do give you some agency over.

          If genocide is bipartisan, the lesser evil is whichever will collapse the US the fastest.

          That and more being shown in the media

          The actual imperial policy doesn’t change.
