Sorry but if you live in the US, then for 200+ years there have been two candidates each election with a chance of winning. If you wanted to cut off your nose to spite your face by not voting for Biden, which objectively only helped Trump, then congrats, you made everything worse for everyone. And that includes the Israel-Palestine conflict.
I voted for Harris.
A thousand small cuts are how you ended up with fascism. If you liberals joined the left in pushing back against the right-wing slide of the Democratic party in election after election after election after election then FUCKING GENOCIDE wouldn't have been the breaking point you dumb complacent losers.
Lol it’s the other way around. The “thousand small cuts” leading to Trump winning is that conservatives will consistently vote for a candidate as long as they support a single issue they care about (such as abortion). And liberals will consistently not vote for a candidate if they don’t support an issue they care about (such as Palestine).
People like you being ok with fracturing the left because of ideological puritanism versus the right being willing to coalesce around a despot who throws them a few bones is why Trump won.
sure man your way is working no problem keep at it bud just vote harder next time.
it's all upvotes and ballots, that's all you gotta do man. we didn't vote hard enough, our bad.
Lol my way is to vote for the best of two candidates which does work and has objectively led to progress, if slowly. Just over 100 years ago we had legalized segregation and women couldn’t vote. 200 years ago we had literal slavery.
By comparison your suggestion is to not vote if you don’t get your perfect candidate. Do you want to point to a single example in the 200 year history of the US, or any country for matter, where that worked?
lol this liberal identifies more with MLK, Malcolm X, and the Black Panthers than he does with the people who were making these same tired arguments in the face of their political action and demands.
You're not like them, voting isn't what won those rights.
Lol this is such a comical statement it’s clear I’m talking to someone who can’t be reasoned with.
But you know what, keep doing what you do, don’t vote. I’ll be comfortable knowing you have literally no influence on anything because you’re too dumb to use the means provided to you to make a change.
Genuine change comes from grassroots organization and pressure, not beginning and ending your influence by voting. And yes, I voted for Harris. This is still entirely on the Democrats for failing to represent and advocate for what the majority of their constituents wanted at the cost of a incredibly important election
Daddy please give me more means to make change. No? Ok daddy.
Actually I take it back, having seen your opinions I think it is in both of our best interests if you continue not voting.
Keep bridge burning instead of building too, let me know how that works out for you.
