"Give people something to vote for or shut the fuck up, honestly"

that's what a primary is. you vote in the primary, and you choose who is on the ballot

but shitbags like you don't vote in the primary, then complain the choices suck

we, asking you to vote, are not the problem

centrist corporatist democrat assholes are not the problem

YOU are the problem. nonvoters. you are why the system sucks

If the most convincing argument for voting Democrat (who are VERY right wing anyway) is "they're against MAGA," then sorry...try harder.

I know why suburban whites and seniors want everyone to fall in line behind the Dems...because they have A LOT of net worth to lose.

"Not voting is also expressing a preference"

Yes

The preference expressed is: "I'm fine if fascism wins"

So you're talking showboating losers who get off on self-righteousness and don't care what happens: entitled, preening selfish assholes whose self-regard is more important than who suffers in reality for their nonparticipation

Or you're talking a simple troll routine played by right wing agendas on cynical and perfectionist morons

It's WILD how you guys' argument boils down to "we know the choices are terrible but you have to choose the least worst one for you because that's how the system works!"

Ok, well, then fuck the system. Insane how in your world it's the non-voters' fault Trump is back. 150 MILLION people voted and over HALF of "independents" broke for him...blame THEM and leave non-voters alone.

Voting is expressing your preference. You are not tying your moral value to the thing you vote for. You are saying one choice is better than the other.

Oh, yeah, I appreciate the consideration. But I'm quite happy to be cited.

it's with you and this dingbat author

if you're a pacifist, you vote for people who are also pacifists

if you're a pacifist, and you don't vote, thus making it easier for warmongerers to win, are you really a pacifist? or are you just a whiny loser with no real beliefs other than "i'm a fucking poser helping fascism but too fucking stupid to understand how"?

nonvoters have no beliefs

if you believe in something, you take actions for that

"And let’s say the non-voter is a pacifist. He believes that violence is wrong no matter what. How, in any sense, are his beliefs represented in this election? Both parties build their soapboxes on graves."

right?

these fucking losers loudly proclaiming their high holy outrage to not vote

when that is exactly the source of our problems

these stupid nonvoting assholes, and MAGA, are why we are where we are today

It's the English language, so I don't think I could even try to stop you.

But yes, please feel free to, and consider it "CC BY 4.0" if you want a license.

Oh, that just spun my head around. That's amazing.

I came up with a new name: politikaren = someone who doesn't do anything politically except complain. They refuse to vote for the best available option; all they can think to do is "send back the salad".

what does iran have to do with anything. another "bases on borders requires genocidal imperialism" scenario is just another wrongdoing

oh i see now! you're doing a whataboutism

and you are justifying genocide and mass murder: that is what russia is doing. and you are supporting their stupid weak lies for doing that

do you think you're a clever troll by denying the radioactively obvious? you just look like a fucking idiot. or, you're not trolling and you're just a fucking idiot

"I don't care about the USA in general"

excellent

so i stopped reading there

and now you prove you don't care by shutting your useless violent ignorant mouth

let those of us who do care get stuff done. you aren't doing anything, you don't care, and your words are stupid violent shit

THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!!!

@clintruin @quizzicus

Frankly, I'm tired of getting this account sucked into these stupid political arguments. It's a music account. Art can be political, but this is just pointless. I reject your position that voting is the answer. End of story.

If nobody wants to do anything EXCEPT vote then Americans deserve what's happening. They KILL protesters.

The USA is not going to be saved by voting for Republican-lite (Democrats) just because all conservatives are fascist scum and are very involved. You'd think Dems would field better candidates but nope...they don't.

I don’t know what to say other than “voting in any way other than to remove fascists from power is to assist in their evil.”

Eliminate fascists first. Fight like hell to replace left-wing cowardice next. There really is no other moral position in this shitty voting system. (Fight like hell to reform that, too.)
