While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.
I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.
Not choosing doesn’t make you any less of a slave. You would be an idiot not to vote.
Not voting makes you indistinguishable from the people who don’t care. If you don’t like the system you still do the one thing you can do on voting day and at least vote, then the other 1460 days between voting days you do something to improve the system.
That’s where you are wrong. You think I want to improve the system. I was to dismantle the system. Slightly better slavery is still slavery.
