If by common logic voting is power, we need to organize and vote people into office that better represent us. Not just resign ourselves to this fate. I just don’t understand this desire to not put up any fight at all. It seems counter intuitive to survival.
I’ve voted in primaries for better candidates for the Dems since I could vote, for more progressive people so we have good representation. As much as I hate establishment Dems I’m not going to stop trying if for it. I’m disenfranchised by them more often than not and that makes me angry to want to do something, not be spiteful.
I’ll probably still vote for dems for logical self preservation and personal gain if you must know. IDK. We’ll see. My sense of self preservation is in a fight with my resentment and its basically a stalemate.
I see those stupid fucking “earth destroying comet for president” bumper stickers and think “Yeah sure that’d be unironically good.” now instead of just rolling my eyes.
I’ve grown up just being resentful or rolling over and seen how little it helps, how much it hurts you overtime. I have had to fight to just survive, being a little bit off or weird in a highly conservative society is often a social death sentence if not a physical one. I refuse to ever be a helpless victim again, and I’ll find others who refuse that as well.
Yeah, but you can’t primary the Dems thoroughly enough before 26 or 28.
So the only VIABLE option in the near term to STOP FASCISM is voting Dem.
But I’m sure a bunch of fools will still do the 3rd party thing come 28.
Normally I’d be fine with them voting 3rd party in midterms, but in case anyone hasn’t noticed, things are getting pretty dark here. This is not the time to fuck around with a 3rd party, even for midterms.
Vote 3rd party in local/state elections AFTER Americans stop getting executed in the street by masked federal goons. And don’t vote 3rd party for president until a 3rd party can actually win the presidency.
I probably don’t agree with @[email protected] but he said primary them, not vote third party.
I was mostly responding to the first part but yeah, definitely primary the fuckers out.

Bitter and deep spite and resentment. Disgust. Self destructive stubborn catharsis in ruining people who you hate even if it destroys you as well.
Just as the campists who actively live in “amerikkka” as I do for US citizen non-voters now.

Its almost like democrats should have fixed the source of the spoiler effect by replacing First-past-the-post voting in states they control.
Wake up babe, it’s the most important election f our lifetime again.
Democratic apologists have literally been saying this for 26 years. Your strategy of Vote Blue No Matter Who is what brought you to this point.
You want to just have the problems go away without any struggle. And it’s not gonna happen.
