If we can’t be bothered to vote in the primaries, wjy would anyone believe us that a progressive candidate would somehow lure millions more to vote?
As I know the comments will be, uhhh, fun, I’ve turned off reply notifications.

I am not prepared for the olympics level mental gymnastics necessary to explain participating in the US election system.
Don’t worry. We know.
I can’t remember who the fuck all is who in the first place, aside from the obvious culprits like Turnip.
Nominal aphasia sucks yo, how do people even have memory banks to remember all the politicians they’ve probably never met in the first place?
Well isn’t that the beauty of it? “Vote blue no matter who.”
It is easy to remember, you don’t need names or complicated things like policies and stances…
No, that’s not the beauty of it at all. In fact, I find it rather ugly, ignorant, and damn near caveman thinking style.
If I was to vote, it wouldn’t be on a simple color, it would be on each candidates’ values and goals. Sadly I can’t remember every last candidate, so I do not consider myself a well educated potential voter.
But hey, if folks wanna keep voting on simple colors, well my favorite color is blue. So if it’s so simple, why can’t I just pick up a blue card, write my name and voter info on it, and just submit that?
Name me one Republican that doesn’t support fascism.
Again, I’m piss poor with names of people I’ve never spoken with in person. I keep seeing bullshit about this dude Pete H whatever the fuck online, but I don’t know anything about him, whether it’s all just trash memes, whatever his real values are, or what side he’s on.
Can you not understand that I’m bad with names, I literally know that, I know I have trouble remembering such things, and make my own best educated decision to like not vote when I can’t remember such shit the next day?
All you really need to know is every red candidate is objectively a worse person and worse for America and the world than any blue candidate. That’s not to say that the blues are particularly good, but if you have the choice of getting punch in the mouth or shot in the face, you choose to live another day.
I choose to not either get punched in the mouth nor shot in the face.
Sad, that at this rate, if these are the only two options left, then gimme a knife and I’ll slit my own throat.
I do not care to live in a world where peace isn’t an option, but thanks for laying out the terms of red/blue for me.
A choice to not participate is a choice to get shot in the face and to get others shot in the face as well. If you’re okay with that, then that’s on you and really tells what you stand for. It’s not just a self choice, it’s a selfish choice that directly hurts others.
Oh, so you think it’s justified to shoot non-voters in the face?
I see your true personality now, you are not of peace, you are for war.
Well done, you’ve shown me your true colors.
Not at all, I never said anything about any violence being justified. I’m saying that not participating hurts others, not just you. I don’t want anyone hurt, but there are two choices in the US general election, and one is always worse than the other for everyone but the wealthy.
Getting shot or punched was a metaphor. The point being that red is bad, blue is less bad, and choosing neither directly benefits the red. So long as there are racists, bigots, and other people that just hate demographics for no reason, the world won’t be a place of peace. In all of history it never has been. We can get closer to peace by voting for people that aren’t pedophiles and war mongers. Not participating in that effort is a choice you can make, you’re and adult, and you have enough of the facts to make a semi informed choice. Nobody can make you, we can just help educate you on the pros and cons of these choices.
Oh boy, is your reading comprehension atrocious…
“I don’t want to get hurt” isn’t a choice and I have to assume you’re like six years old if this is seriously the first time you’ve look at the way world politics work.
I dunno how world politics work at all.
I never have, I don’t care to participate in the sport of war, I prefer peace.
But, what did you just say?
‘I don’t want to get hurt isn’t a choice’?
What the fuck was that, you promoting violence?
You should probably just stay out of the conversation then and educate yourself.
