    Buddy, we’ve been watching you jackasses willing to die on a molehill for almost a decade now.

    Also, you literally said you’re a Trumpy, so…

      i literally said i would hate to see trump win: i don’t see how that makes me a “trumpy”

      gender isn’t binary, sex isn’t binary, and the us needs to veer drastically towards socialist policies if it wants to keep from tearing apart at the seams

      what shibboleth would you like me to pass to validate that i am not in fact a secret right-winger, and am in fact just somebody who isn’t a terribly big fan of genocide?

      democrats have been rightfully decrying the right’s refusal to condemn the countless moral failings on their side of the aisle for almost a decade now, but the thing that finally has the left circling the wagons is a literal genocide?

      are you feeling okay?

        Then I assume you are voting for Biden if you are in a swing state, right?

          please see previous comment:

          how in the name of fuck are we still doing this

          it’s absolutely wild that you people are still willing to die on the hill of “anybody who doesn’t want to vote for state sponsored genocide is a secret trump supporter”

          Voting in Biden again signals to the democratic party that their base are willing to accept genocide. Are you fine with that?

            Hate to break this to you but they do not hear you and they never will. Not voting or voting for a third party DOES NOT change the party platforms of the two major parties. Period. If it did, you would have seen major changes when Ross Perot took a massive chunk of votes. Twice. Guess what didn’t happen? The Democrats at least have a good chunk of them wanting military support for Israel to end. And allowing Trump to be president will do nothing but absolutely make things worse in Gaza. Are you fine with that? Because that is what you are calling for. What you are doing is pushing for an even worse genocide. Good job.

            Instead, maybe stop focusing your energy on inaction and pushing for others to waste their energy also not acting. Push for systemic changes to our voting. Many localities have implemented alternative voting methods that are not first past the post and two states have as well. Push for more of that. Push for an increase in the number of House seats and push for states to have proportional voting to select their House members. Push to make the electoral college toothless. There are initiatives for all of those. Focus your energy on those so we are not forced to pick between a turd and a shit sandwich. What you are doing changes absolutely nothing and only helps the candidate furthest from your views.

            That said, if you are not in a swing state, vote for whatever presidential candidate you want. Nobody fucking cares unless you are in a swing state. Still push for al those things I mentioned in my previous paragraph though.
