Right, I'm "decrying" successful revolutions because I don't believe that your armchair activism is going to start any actual movement capable of disturbing the status quo.

It's only worthless if it's third party, sadly.

I love getting downvotes for just understanding the law.

If anyone hasn't already lost their Israel-colored glasses, they're not coming off.

See, doing it as a bloc with public visibility I can see. That actually has some chance of swaying at least the rhetoric. But I still think if they actually go through with not voting, they're voting against their own interests. The right is rabidly xenophobic and loves Israel, the only thing Trump will do to end the genocide is send even more military support.

Oh man this thread is a real breath of fresh air, thank you three for having heads on your shoulders.

Not voting is a choice. You can't not participate in politics.

I think you're generally right that foreign policy won't be very affected (not sure what the image has to do with it), but domestic policy certainly will be. It's very disheartening to see all of these self-proclaimed leftists basically discarding LGBTQ people, whose rights are extremely up for debate in this election, to make a performative stance against a policy that both sides support equally.

Voting doesn't affect your ability to do other activism.
