    Nah. I voted for the lesser evil my whole life and the DNC decided they get to decide the president rather than the people.

    Burn it all

        No, no, I’ve been assured that Trump was no worse than any other president, it’s all the same, you see. Both Sides!

      that’s nice if you actually burn anything. if you just don’t vote then you’re just going to get stomped by fascists. either you actually commit to that level of action or you get rolled by those that do.

      that’s just an empty welcome to the fascists of it’s not backed by meaningful planned action. the only way what you said will work is of you’re ready to fucking go the second trump wins. he’s not leaving otherwise. so either you’re in a militia or you’re pathetic and part of the problem.

        amen. that’s why the left is so bad, politically, and the right is, well better. they whine but keep voting. the leftists just whine and do nothing and get mad that the guy they didn’t vote for didn’t win.

          Literally every grievance they have can be answered with “well then why didn’t you vote in <X primary/off year election> where a candidate who would have answered that grievance if not built momentum towards one who would was running?”

          If they spent a percent of the energy voting that they did whining about why they don’t want to, Bernie would have won the 2016 primary handily, along with a slate of progressive challengers at his back.

      I’m sorry which side of that debate says we should have counted donations instead of the actual votes?

      All but outright saying “only the bougie white kids should count at the polls!” and yet somehow the DNC are the ones who are the threats to democracy and subverting the will of the people because they checks notes counted the ballots cast for all the candidates in the race.

      Just about figures that the “voting bad!” screechers think that voting in the primary is somehow putting the fix in.
