    There is a non-negligeable number of people convinced that all of the Democrat Platform are policies they don’t stand for. They think Obamacare was just Romneycare. Ideological puritans who would rather everyone abstain from participating elections than pick harm minimalization option.

    This ideology gets furtherd and promoted by foreign psyops who frequently post on DB0 and Lemmy ML, much in the same vein that Russian operations promoted Bernie Sanders on FaceBook after he had already lost the primary and asked people to vote for Hillary in the general.

    Basically everything is burning and some people think adding fuel is better than water.

        Not watching Israel bombing Gaza was never on the table but the USA definitely had a choice between more death and less death, and it chose more.
