Progressive Politics

Your vote signifies approval, I don't understand why you would say otherwise. It means that you approve of what they do, it means that the democrats will boast about their results afterwards and tell us that people agree with us, EXACLTY like what this post does right here, crazy right?! Your vote means support. Regardless if it fits your narrative to say otherwise, that's what it is.

Obviously Trump is worse, I do have first hand experience of what it means to have your rights threatened by conservatives. But the point is that both of them threaten my freedom and my rights. Both are neoliberals, both are going directly against my interests. I'm not supporting someone who is beating me up, even if it's a slightly lighter beat up. And for god's sake, the consequences of the democrats are categorically not nuanced, it's just sad to say this. You keep going back to ideological purity and to how I want to look smart, and it's such a pathetic argument with all the criminal things the democrats and conservatives alike do. It only proves what I've been saying. That you don't care enough for mass murders and that you are ok with where the world is going and with the oligarchs ruling you (If you are not ok with this route we are taking, you don't show your approval by voting, isn't it insane?!). Purity refers to people fighting over small differences, the differences in worldview I've been describing literally can't get ang bigger. It's like saying we will go to the opposite direction of what you want and if you say no, we will take one extra right off of you, the answer is no to both, as much as it hurts you.

You obviously don't care to understand me, so my last attempt is with the simplest reasoning: In a bipartisanship, there is always a point when the differences between the two parties are so little that even you would quit from voting - suppose the only difference was that one party taxes the rich 1% less and both do everything else terrible and the same. You wouldn't vote for them then would you? If yes, think that the 1% becomes .5%, .25% etc. There will be a point when even you would quit, because the differences are too slim. Now if you zoom out a bit, see the whole picture, how they oppress the people, how they destroy the environment, gentrify cities, impoverish and overwork people, bomb other nations, boost the profits of the oligarchs off of people etc etc, you should be able to understand that the point I was talking about is long passed (from the beginning both parties were awful, I don't imply that there was a point in time when either was good).

So yes I take my vote or my non-voting or my third party voting very seriously, even if you don't like it and try to diminish it by saying I'm emotional about it(as if I didn't talk about facts and my material situation and how they work against me). I hope you never succeed in persuading anyone to vote for your genocidal freaks that, with the help of the mainstream media you pay and get paid by, make the dystopia we are living the ""sensible"" choice and the good scenario. Have a good day👍
