they didn’t even bother with a pretence of a primary the second time.

    So you have a candidate that’s a pedophile hitler, then a candidate that’s neither hitler nor pedophile. But you decided to not vote because none is good enough. Doing that you just said that you are ok with both, you know? You basically said that hitler was as bad as non-hitler.

      they don’t need to be the same for neither of them to be acceptable

            Well, if you didn’t vote against him, you can’t say you’re against what he’s doing. You made a choice, and that choice was saying that none was acceptable, hence both were ok to win. Was harris better than pedohitler, or not? Because that’s the only thing that counts. You could have voted for the better option and start working from there. Instead you decided to not vote. If you abstain, you are ok with either result, that’s just how it is. You can’t complain of a result if you didn’t vote.

              f you didn’t vote against him, you can’t say you’re against what he’s doing.

              sure I could. I could do that even if I voted for him.

                Those were the most important elections in modern history for the US. So important that look how’s the world (not just that shithole) because of the result. If you weren’t in a hospital unable to vote and physically incapable of casting a vote, there’s no way to justify not voting in that election. The country was literally choosing between modern nazism and democracy (as flawed as it would have been).

                The whole world is being fucked because of the shithole’s president, over and over. You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t see justified not voting in those elections.
