    I just think you should consider not only the ideal outcome of your vote but also the most likely one. what did voting third party actually do here other than make you feel good? Trump has in fact been doing worse than kamala would have on the middle east and is gunning for a war against Iran. in addition but obviously not nearly as bad as the genocide, his tariffs will negatively impact a lot of people in southeast asia.

    but more than all that, and I’m not saying you personally do this, I’m tired of people not voting in any election but the presidential and then complaining about the choices they ended up with.

      I’m in california lol my vote means fuck all, so why should I throw it away for Kamala? You liberals really don’t think too hard about things do you?

      Also I dislike the assumption that because I don’t participate in the circus of electoral politics that I am not engaged with actual meaningful political projects year round. It shows an incredible lack of imagination or understanding of how real positive change is actually made and how political power is built. But yeah keep voting for people that hate you hoping that things will somehow get better.
