People downvoting you apparently don't believe anyone on Lemmy is:

  1. Not a US citizen.
  2. 17 or younger come November.
  3. An ex-con in a state where that means you can't vote.
  4. A current convict unable to vote from prison.

1 and 2 get me the most. Imagine not believing in Italians or children.

    I'm a leftist and I don't vote for capitalists or war criminals.

    If you're legally allowed to vote in the USA, you almost certainly do vote for capitalists, largely due to fundamental flaws in First Past the Post - you have no way not to. Both abstaining from voting and voting third party are mathematically equivalent to voting for a capitalist, it just makes it messier working out which one you voted for.

    no, they're not. calling your storytelling "math" doesn't change its veracity.

    Dude. I'm not talking about people outside of the US. What is so complicated about that. This is a US centric country conversation. I thought it was implied that the people I was speaking about would be US citizens.

    Here, I will clarify with everyone who has a hard time reading between the lines.

    IF YOU ARE A US CITIZEN THAT CAN LEGALLY VOTE AND YOU CHOOSE TO USE YOUR VOTE IN A MANNER THAT WILL ULTIMATELY DESTROY MY PERSONAL FREEDOMS AND FURTHER THE SUFFERING OF OTHER PEOPLE FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC, I WOULD RATHER NOT ASSOCIATE WITH YOU.
