    If you think voting between two utterly corrupt parties that collaborate on fucking you over behind closed doors matters, get fucked.

      I didn’t tell you who to vote for, I just told you to vote. Voting third party is still better than not voting, and you’re not just voting for a party, you’re voting for candidates with all sorts of different views, judges, bills levies, all sorts of shit.

      If you can’t be bothered to get off your ass and vote once a year, that is shitty and complaining about the thing you couldn’t even fucking bother with would make you a royal asshat. Go fucking vote if you live in a place where you still can.

        This is a good retort. I’m disarmed and willing to cede this point to you. IMHO, voting third party is ineffective but I will cede that voter apathy is worse.

        Personally, I voted for Cruz in a solidly dem state.
        If Kamala couldn’t even pretend to pledge to stop a genocide (which I knew she wouldn’t from her enthusiastic speeches for the AIPAC alone) she shouldn’t have anyone’s vote. if there are only two viable parties, at least one of them should be pacifists, right?

        Thanks for the intellectually honest and non-defensive reply. You’re the type of voter shamer that I can at least come to a common ground with. 🕊️
