I just tell them that I don't support either the dems or the GOP because I've officially endorsed Bofa.

Telling libs that chastise me for saying the US is irredeemable with reforms through electoral politics that they should all register as Republicans and change the GOP from the inside is fun

Also works for telling them to join the NRA to advocate for ~~fun~~ (lol typo) gun control from the inside

Some of them get mad and say it's different than voting for "harm reduction" by supporting Democrats somehow, and some just short circuit

lmao I've never thought of that. I've heard people say before that changing the dems from the inside is about as easy as changing the republicans. Telling libs they should join the republicans as a rebuttal for their "vote blue no matter who" shtick sounds like an excellent bit.

Even better bit would be setting off some sort of universal whataboutism bot everywhere they said that... even offline.

It's weird how often the whataboutism detector and the Hitler particle detector go off at the same time.
