Dude, just voting for the lesser evil is good.

Like what do people want, the worse option just because fuck it? Makes no goddamn sense. Yes we all are voting for the lesser evil, that's how politics works. It's all varying degrees of evil and lots of shades of gray.

To be fair, there is some black and white in it. It's pretty easy to say rounding up people based on how they look and putting them in concentration camps is BAD but apparently some people in our society are blind to that reality or (realistically) they're bad people in their souls too.

I can't imagine ever working for or wanting to work for ICE. These people are broken individuals who have embraced bullying and hate as their core identity. Fuck all of them.

Dems arent "good", Democratic socialists are actually keeping their promises, so vote for them if you have one in your area. But if you can't tell that the democratic party is a million times the lesser evil then FUCK YOU. I'm in Utah so this Is literally the first time I've even had a shot at getting a lefty elected and I'm STOKED, even though it will probably be the most moderate dem imaginable

HEAR, HEAR

YES. When you see obvious right-wing talking points parroted in comments that are clearly intended to discourage and/or create fear in American voters who may be reading -- I've seen numerous low-key "it's not really safe to vote" thrown in now -- do two, maybe three things.

One, check the account age, and the time of the comment compared to your time zone. Not every bogus comment comes out of Eastern Europe, but a number of them do, they start and stop commenting at odd hours, and it's something that you'll note as you look deeper into suspect comments.

Two, point them out. Take the time to throw out a sentence or two that stops the next reader. You can look at my account history if you'd like to see how I do it. I often write long ones if I'm in the mood, but short ones are even more effective. All you need is a simple "Two day old doomer account. Blocked." It gets the message across.

Three, if you don't feel like arguing with bullshit artists who come back with lies pulled out of their ass in the fraction of the time and real effort it takes you to craft a simple truth, then block. If you really piss them off they'll come back with alts, and of course prepare to be downvoted, but usually it shuts them up.

For as many of us voting Americans who deeply care about our country and are still brave enough to be online right now, you will be doing us all a service, as well as pointing out the form for those whose country the firehose of oligarch propaganda gets aimed at next.

He's a symptom of people not voting. VOTE.
