Edit: new and improved image, now with 100% less support! Used my expert photo editing skills to change "supporting" to say "voting for"

You want to change the system, I am literally 100% behind you. Until then, any registered voter that stays home is a vote for Trump. That is the greater evil...
If not voting for Biden is a vote for Trump, by the same logic not voting for Trump is a vote for Biden
If you can convince a Trump supporter to stay home, sure. More likely, they'll just vote when your back is turned and try to drop in you're ballot for Trump.
An individual vote only has meaningful significance in a few specific locations. If you aren't doing anything to materially impact votes in those locations, emphasizing your individual vote as significant online is more about self-affirming and displaying your allegiance among others who agree with you.
Don't worry, third party voters are still wearing crowns.
That's not how voting works but hyperbole does.
Any government in power doesn't care about your concerns if you're not participating in the decision-making.
And when I say not caring about your concerns, I mean not fixing old lead pipes that are poisoning an entire town because it couldn't give enough of a damn
Flint's water lead has been below federal limits in 2017 and in 2022 flint had inspected 27,133 service lines and replaced 10,059 lead and galvanized lines.
It literally is, at its core.
Do you need a definition of literally? Because you sure don't show understanding.
Blaming no confidence voters for staying home because the DNC decided to hold their votes hostage is top tier victim blaming.
Again, might as well vote for trump bud
You're the one voting for israel not me. Crazy that you're projecting your endorsement for genocide on others
only a vote for trump is a vote for trump
no, in every election office.
The greatest evil is America though, so if you’re telling me Trump is going to destroy America…… He’s looking pretty fuckin’ awesome.
Before you set the house on fire, consider all the people locked in the attic.
Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make
aha, but what if I have a master plan to save them, which involves removing the structural barriers to them escaping the attic via an attack that uses fire? we're making the mother of all omelettes, jack, you can't fret over every egg, or whatever.
this is just raw accelerationism though, and I've been told that's not a kosher ideology, so we can't legitimately engage with it. kind of a shame, but also pretty easily co-opted into just being like, neo-fascism, so, understandable. we need to start lighting the types of furniture I don't like on fire! we need to let the attic burn, with the people inside, because it will provide warmth! and so on. we won't disassemble the house with the master's tools, or what have you, and a house divided against itself cannot stand, but it's also impossible to move houses in this economy, so I dunno. do we need to start knocking out walls for an open floorplan, or what? is the metaphor falling apart, and beginning to collapse, like the house?
Cis white heterosexual revolutionaries will have a shining new day once the ashes clear, I'm sure they will build a monument to all the oppressed people they sacrificed to the fire.
Well of course, all the normies would need something to direct their two minutes' hate at, or whatever.
ah yes poor americans are more important than yemeni getting droned. Classic liberal. Not every life is equal I see.
Have fun at the middle school dance tonight
Trump isn't going to destroy America, just the parts of it he doesn't like. The parts that are democratic and tolerant will be his primary targets.
Trump destroying America doesn't mean he'd make it better. He would make it worse. Even if you think it's the "greatest" evil, that doesn't mean it is at maximum evil.
I miss old Lemmy, when this would have been the upvotes comment instead. Redditors need to look in the mirror before posting here.
I can think of about 200 other countries that are worse than America. Hell, in Germany, they have far right nationalists becoming popular again.
