Ah so you think the third of the country that didn't vote was based and revolutionary, not just passively endorsing Trump.

    No. I'm saying we need something new.

    Whatever side you are on, unless it is the billionaires, the USA dies when Elon was allowed to take every bit of our most sensitive data and secrets. We are talking about the Pentagon, OPM, and Social Security. Unknown foreign agents with ILLEGAL access, downloaded it all to external servers and I stalled AI and code.

    On top of this, our government has been revealed to be a majority of foreign paid agents from Israel that have blackmailed the worst of our politicians into doing their bidding.

    These tech Nazis have been given actual military units and ranks, and now Palmer Lucky and Elon Musk will be overseeing killing, autonomous drones that may or may not have nukes.

    We lost, we aren't voting our way out of this

    So people who don't vote actually dont endorse a candidate. This is a bit of an advanced piece of politics, but the way voting in the US works is you vote for a candidate and if you dont vote for someone, then they dont get your vote.
    Your logic rests on an assumption that the democrats are owed your vote, which they aren't. Had Harris won, then you wouldnt be saying the people who didnt vote passively endorsed her, but they would have done that just as much.
    Those who don't vote are in fact doing the opposite of endorsing anyone, they are signalling apathy with the system.

    And yet a candidate still wins so you either contribute to the lessening of evil or you dont. There is no sitting out of reality

    Because the only political action one can take is vote, alright 🫩
    You dont contribute to "lessening" evil by voting for a genocider.

    You talk about sitting out of reality, yet you exist in some fantasy land where democrats haven't made everything much much worse

    Not really, no. Your ahistoric approach to politics where you only think of the specific immediate moment is how we got here, and that thinking is how we stay here.
    There are plenty of viable alternatives with a decent organisational structure already. One way to help them grow is to vote for them, and that is better use of a vote than wasting it on fascist genociders.
