This comment has some real I dont understand or acknowledge the consequences of my actions, vibes.
Who is the president and who did you vote for last time?
Biden and Biden. Voted for Bernie in the primary, couldn't get him to the nomination, then I put on my big boy pants and voted Biden because the alternative was Trump. It's pretty simple.
A vote for a third party would have resulted in either the same consequence or worse. The difference is you get to pretend to be detached from it because you didn't directly vote for the guy. Spare me the self righteous bullshit.
Two questions.
Do you think that this barrage of personal attacks sways anyone to your side or solves anything at all?
What is your alternative? Your solution? Vote 3rd party? Green? Libertarian? Vote for Trump? Don't vote at all? Please. Share your wisdom so that we may learn! You shit on me for merely participating in an election, thereby making everything that happened after personally and wholly my fault, I guess. What would you have had me do otherwise? How the fuck do you suggest we fix things, smartass? Or are you just here to rage and attack and be completely useless?
Genuinely curious, do you believe wrong ways to protest exist?
There's lightyears of difference between "stop throwing paint on statues and blocking roads" and "stop sitting on your privilege with your vote and allowing the disemprivileged to be meat grindered because you think this time it'll teach the incredibly privileged who happen to be nearest to you politically a lesson."
