When given a choice between a millitary industrial neoliberal with a rainbow voting base and a fascist who is one elon musk golf session away from banning HRT, the best option is certainly not to refuse to play out of protest

I'm down for leaving people to vote for who they want, as long as they allow their protest votes to weigh heavily on their consciences when January comes around and we suddenly live in the fourth reich

    I'll never pretend to respect their decision. They might not even accept they were wrong when they're inside the gas chambers. Besides, them feeling guilty is no justice for dooming people to death. It would be an injustice nobody could ever set right.

    This comment has a dismissive tone to it. I'm not a fan.

    I don't like being dishonest about how actions make me feel, especially when we are talking about the election of a blatant fascist who wants to deport me to Mexico and then invade it. The stakes are too high for me to not make my frustration clear. Them doing nothing to prevent it is dismissive of my very life.
