Or sincerely think Trump will be better. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Or they don't want to vote for a pro genocide President. Tbh, I get it. Your vote is your stamp of approval for a candidate for a lot of people. It's the only way to say their approval that a lot of people have, their only voice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] admiralteal@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) It really isn't that, though. Your vote is a commodity. It's influence to be spent, and you should spend it wisely. People who think their vote is some deep moral choice need to get over themselves. Try to affect the greatest positive outcome you can. A vote is not a formal, sworn endorsement of everything every checkbox on the ballot stands for. If it were, only the Trump cultists would ever be voting. permalink fedilink source parent [–] acceptable_pumpkin@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago They’re either naive people with a sheltered existence, or bad faith actors. May as well write in a candidate for all the good it would do. permalink fedilink source parent
