claim 1: “voting doesn’t change anything”
Never forget the recent case of Kris Mayes, who refuses to uphold the Arizona supreme court’s sweeping ban of abortion.
Kris Mayes only won her 2022 election by 280 votes. Voting changes things.
claim 2: “but genocide joe”
Yep. Hold that fucker’s feet to the fire. He has blood on his hands
But trump has promised to be indisputably worse. I won’t tell you how to vote. I just encourage you to vote. You’re not radical for ditching the only miniscule right the state has granted you to do some small aid for your neighbors.
edited to the word implied, thanks for your input.
sadly it is that deep tho lol human rights are at stake and when the first reaction is to say “no one is doing that thing that’s gonna take rights away” i am gonna take offense. just how it is.
You have every right to defend yourself from their arbitrary assumption against your character, but I don't believe anyone is straight up calling you a liar. They're just showing that they don't actually know anything about you rather than directly accusing you of lying. Like for example, "I feel like my sister likes corn dogs", do I know that as fact? Nope, I've never once seen her eat a corn dog in my life, it's an arbitrary guess that ultimately means nothing, then she'd probably respond with something like "I don't because I'm Jewish, stupid" and I'd look like a clown. I feel like that's what's happening here.
Edit : small typo.
i hear you. again, i changed my wording based on your input. lot of hot feelings here and im used to people doing straight up attacks so i do apologize if i overresponded to anyone in defense of myself.
There's no need to apologize, you're well within your right to defend yourself.
