The discourse on American politics sometimes devolves to "Leftists who won't vote" & "MAGA Republicans" teaming up to "getting revenge on liberals".

no.. by voting I'm saying who I want to win.
Except they won’t win, and you know it. So you’re taking a vote away from Biden which means you’re helping Trump. You are culpable in Trumps victory if it happens, and the blood is on your hands just as much as the Reps.
it's not biden's vote, it's mine, and Biden needs to earn it if he wants it.
only a vote for a candidate helps that candidate.
a vote for West is a vote against Trump and Biden.
it's not for them, it's for anyone who might be taken in by them.
and i can't bring myself to think of them in dehumanizing terms like "bot" or even "shill". that level of discourse is toxic and thought-terminating. we should elevate the conversation.
