        Except if you’re a moderate or a liberal.

          That’s some pretty wild mental gymnastics you got going on there.

          If Trump was president right now Ukraine would be gone and you’d be partially responsible for making that happen by not getting Biden to 270 electoral college votes.

          Learn how fptp voting works,buddy.

            the only people responsible for a candidate winning are the people who voted for them…a vote for any other candidate is a vote against Trump

      I would encourage you to consider voting for independent candidate. That way its more “I would vote for you if you weren’t a madman” rather than “I’m someone that doesn’t vote.”

      Hope that makes sense, I’m tired

          A spoiler vote isn’t any worse than a non-vote, but it does have the advantage of sending a message.

          If for no other reason go vote for the ballot initiatives. You don’t have to vote for a single candidate but the ballot initiatives are essentially direct democracy with tangible outcomes to your community. If you cant support that then you’re wasting your time even thinking about politics and letting all that negativity in your head.

      lol- well your taxes still fund everything the US does. Your foot is still on the accelerator but you think the right answer to the trolley problem is ‘let Jesus take the wheel’.

      But yeah, sounds like you in particular probably shouldn’t vote and let more rational people decide what death and destruction your taxes go towards ;)

        inaction is a valid and rational choice in the trolley problem

          Yeah, people that care more about meaningless moral absolution than actual human lives can rationalize anything.

            “I’ll still be a citizen a but I won’t do the tiniest thing possible in the democracy that may move the needle a little bit because I want to feel righteous”

            Goddamn, these single-issue voters suck.
