    That’s a pretty juvenile take. Not voting doesn’t mean you disapprove of both candidates. It means they are both equal (equally good or equally bad) to you.

    And if you think the two are equal because of one thing that they agree on (as bad as that thing is), you mean all the things they disagree on don’t matter (like peaceful transfer of power, lgbtq rights, fascism). And even on that one thing, the two have very different approaches, and one is far more inclined to change position in the future. But apparently that wouldn’t matter either, because they are both equal right now, because they both support Israel right now.

      So they both support a genocide, seems like a grand reason to vote for neither.

      You don’t get a pity vote for not being as bad as the other guy it just means I won’t vote for him either.

        And in a first past the post voting system, like the one we have, your lack of voting mathematically increases the chances of Trump winning. That’s a fact. You are voting for Trump, even if you say you’re not. I’m sure you’ll sleep fine at night, but all the harm he causes will be because you died on a hill that didn’t even mean anything.

          No friend I am voting for no one. You can try and twist it however you want, but they’re 3 options -1, 0, and +1.

          At this point, I am choosing 0, I could pick -1 by voting for trump.

          I might as well by your logic, right?

          My not voting is the same as just adding to his total and doesn’t cancel one of someone else’s vote for Biden, right?

          Idc what the rest of you do, I will not vote for someone who actively supports genocidal actions.
