You are fine with it, though. You’re fine with voting third party, and prefer it over preventing fascism from gaining traction. If you weren’t fine with fascism, then that would supercede your desire to feel morally superior for not actually participating in the system at all.
You have a choice at the polls. You can scream into the void, where nobody hears you and you have no effect on the election’s outcome, or you can grit your teeth and vote for the candidate who isn’t a fascist, and you opt to scream into the void. It’s hard to believe you aren’t fine with fascism when you put your own feeling of moral superiority above the actual real world consequences of allowing a fascist to win.
I mean sure, women are having their rights violated in many states now, and even those who don’t get abortions have to endure an investigation into their womb when they have a miscarriage, but at least you didn’t vote for some democrat in 2016, right?
I’d rather shoot myself than vote for someone I dont believe in
Yup. And because of that, people are actually suffering in real life.
Having to vote for the lesser evil candidate is not democracy
You don’t have to vote for the lesser evil candidate. But much like that story from the Witcher, other people often pay the price for you keeping your hands clean.
Couldn’t rely on them back in 2016. The next few generations who are going to have to live with Trump’s supreme court picks really could have used our help, but we were too idealistic. “People will always suffer” is such an awful way to justify inaction, and it certainly makes it sound like you are fine with it.
No one says this who isn’t totally fine with far right fascism.
