    Americans like you are the absolute worst. So damn irresponsible. All that undeserved extra voting power you have, and you choose to squander it and use it for an act of shameful self-righteousness, with no regard for the consequences of your actions. You clearly have zero respect for progressive politics, progressive movements, and even progressive leaders.

    Ignorant liberal voters: as useful for destroying democracy as ignorant fascists

        Game theory is a tough subject, but it would be worth it for you to study to understand how you are acting against your less preferred candidate and helping what should be your least preferred candidate (assuming your ranked choice has the republican nominee below the democratic nominee).

        Keep voting for 99% … gets us to the same place

        You make it seem as though your protest vote does not also get us to the same place? Many voters have shared your mentality and voted accordingly for the past 200+ years and it’s not made a difference, what makes you think this time things will change?

          Voting for Biden gets us to the same place. At least I’m voting for “not genocide”

          So FUCKING TIRED of the “moral” wing of our single party govt this go round staying completely silent on Republicans and their policies to blame the world on anyone who won’t “vote blue no matter who” though even mainstream Democrats and pundits can’t come up with anything better than “yeah Biden does it but trump will do it worse!”

          I don’t give a fuck how hot a take it is - if “voting for not genocide” makes me a filthy commie than let me fetch my sickle and hammer. Enjoy your “moral high ground” of blaming all our problems on people who think genocide is bad (or making it easy to strip leftist orgs of non profit status, or a handful of other things y’all libs purposefully ignore in lieu of pushing your false narrative that anyone left of Biden are “single issue voters” who “advocate for not voting.”

            You literally just started by saying you won’t vote for him for a single issue, then end by saying you are not a single issue voter.

        Biden isn’t 99% Hitler though

        The only stickler really is the Israeli support, which he is trying to stop. He isn’t even actively pursuing it.

        So it is 20% Hitler at best, and dropping.

        Biden is not fuckin Hitler, you enlightened genius!

        Keep voting for Ralph Nader Gary Johnson … err I mean Jill Stein instead of doing something useful.

        Seriously, what’s the worse that could happen? It’s not like Bush will get us into a massive war and end any hope at fighting climate change err I mean, it’s not like Trump will enflame the ongoing war in the Middle East and decimate any chance the Supreme Court will side with minorities for an entire generation no wait, I mean, surely Trump won’t imprison his political enemies and dismantle the electoral process.

        Ignore what I crossed out; it’s just American history. You probably wouldn’t be interested

      I’m always teleported back to grade school and the token, “rough home life” kid. They sit there and back talk the teacher all day long applying their contrarian logic to everything little thing. Hell, on some level I’d even agree with them but not because they’re right in what they are doing but they accidentally make a salient point. The end of the day, though, the teacher was attempting to do good for this kid and we all just watch as they throw it back in their face.

        This may be a hot take but as someone in my 40s I don’t think anybody in their 80s has a fucking clue what’s good for me.

          To bad they also have no idea how they foreclosed our future, though the window for them to not have to confront the awful cynicism of their choices has justttt about closed (you can actually see the gates now off in the distance, they are the 33 named storms expected by quite shellshocked meterologists and storm forecasters to pummel the Carribean and North America this summer in what is projected to be one of the worst hurricane seasons on record by about as far as the distance is between the sea temperatures off the coast of Africa where hurricanes are born are being ALREADY AT THE TEMPERATURES THEY NORMALLY ONLY REACH IN LATE JUNE OR JULY and whatever the shitty record used to be)
