      I’m not trying to force anyone to even think a particular way, let alone DO something. But when the choice is the person who literally wants you dead vs someone who’s willing to maybe marginalize you in the current political environment, I would mildly urge you to maybe kindly vote against the guy with a gun to your head who will pull the trigger when he wins. Just sayin’. Maybe focus on the marginalization issue next season before it gets to the gun to the head again. “FUCK YOU KILL ME” isn’t really the best choice in my humble opinion.

        But if the guy that hates trans and homeless people becomes president do you really think that the Dems would ever again platform someone that doesn’t want a genocide in their own country? And why do people have to support the piece of shit before he gets legitimised in any way through a primary anyways?

          I’m pretty sure in 2024 the Dems platformed someone who didn’t want a genocide in this country. Mamdani seems like a pretty good dude, and he’s in the general because he won the primary over said piece of shit. So the system can work. Or we can all be pessimists and let the fascists continue to run roughshod because the Democrats aren’t woke enough or whatever.

      They are anyways. Just because ypu choose not to vote doesnt mena youre note subjected to the result. And every vote not cast against fascism is a vote for it.

        Then after many years of voting for the slightly lesser evil, you look up and realize that both candidates are fascist. You never bothered to hold the “good” side accountable, so they just kept sliding further and further into evil.

        The only reason Newsom is a Democrat is because he lives in California. If he lived in Texas, he would happily be a Republican. He doesn’t actually believe in anything.
