By voting for one of the only two candidates who has a chance of winning, but picking the one who will do the least damage and keep doing that over and over again until you get someone who isn't terrible.
People want change overnight.
No. Absolutely not. I morally cannot vote for the one "who will do the least damage" Not a chance, that's a complete waste of my vote in my opinion, and at that point what's the difference if I just sit out? Nobody is happy if I don't vote, that's wrong, I'm supposed to vote for someone I don't like so another candidate that I dislike even more doesn't win. What the fuck change will ever happen in a lifetime with that strategy? This shits broken, I'm not participating anymore because of it, my vote, my choice how I use it, I choose not to use it.
Fine. Then Trump wins.
Also, why does it have to change in your lifetime? Does the future matter that little to you?
I honestly don't care. I had nothing to do with how he got there the first time, if I use my vote, it will do absolutely nothing to stop him a second time. Also... Dems could nominate someone besides Biden... Everyone in this thread acts like my one vote makes all the difference, it doesn't, it won't, this thing is rigged in every way possible, the whole system should be better, I didn't create it, I didn't make the rules.
I'm from Washington state, so again, my vote doesn't matter, that's the way the system works. My state will go blue with or without me participating.
The whole entire everything needs a complete overhaul, and it's not going to happen. It's just a show. Maybe we get the orange clown again, maybe not, who knows, I really don't care.
And there it is. If you “don’t care” then you are complicit in the depths of depravity and corruption. You may deserve it but the rest of us do not.
Do you fucking hear yourself?? You disgust me, the world is quite literally a worse place because of you and those like you. In reality I have no doubt this is just lazy low effort trolling from you. Pathetic.
Trump's policies will kill more Palestinians than Biden's. It will also lead to more discrimination against LGBT people.
How many lives are your morals worth? How much suffering?
Edit: removed some of my argument that was overly harsh
Nah, be harsh, these privileged sacks of shit need to hear it harsh.
I think I was going to say that they have no right to bitch and moan if they didn't vote for a serious candidate. They make a choice to accept whatever the outcome is, and then they complain about the outcome anyway.
Do they think the system has ever been fair? We're truly a pathetic generation of so called liberals if we're too apathetic to fight for a better world. Civil rights, gay rights, women's suffrage, labor rights -- they went up against a much worse situation, and they didn't balk.
