One day you'll understand what "non voting leftists" truly mean. When kamala wins, and the world still spirals into fascism, maybe you'll see what they mean
What the fuck are you on about. The other guy is saying, on record, he's the fascist.
Your side has been saying the world was going to end since Obama was elected.
It's the same, tired, racist, bullshit.
Fuck off, Nazi.
Why so angry? NPC moment for real. If god forbid i was American i'd vote for kamala but this high and mighty attitude of never holding your politicians accountable and ostracizing anyone who even dares whisper such thing is exactly what allows fascists like trump to reach the vote. Your blind rage for any kind of complex thought that goes beyond "blue good and red bad" is not as democratic as you think.
Drink a goddamn chamomile
Withholding your vote isn't punishing your politicians, it's punishing yourself. Absolutely nothing about voting implies you cannot hold your politicians accountable.
I've never talked about not voting, if you read my comments. I just think acting high and mighty towards disillusioned people is part of the problem
And I think you're wrong. I think coddling people and indulging their juvenile entitlement desires to take their ball and go home does real world harm.
If you view a section of the electorate as children that will push back on you and 'go home' then continue to engage them in patronizing ways, your acting against your own desires when you simply could have been quiet. Therefore, you also are doing real world harm. You just feel like your harm is somehow more just.
If the people you insist on patronizing don't show up, you lose the election, is that worth feeling morally superior to someone else?
Get off your horse, pardner. No one talked about coddling. Just fricking talk to people like you actually want to understand their POV instead of feeling like you're the only moral people in the world.
Incredibly hypocritical and """juvenile""" is how you choose to act
