    #bothSides and people trying to avoid understanding

    • in effectively a binary race, the conservatives win when turnout is lower. Take a bow.
    • if you don’t vote for the better option, you’re begging for the worst. Self-high-5.
    • voting for a can’t win third-party is like spoiling a vote but less fun at parties. Dip a chip.

        Because voters are fucking adults and it’s their responsibility to make the best decision under the circumstances they find themselves so their quality of life doesn’t degenerate even more.

        No one inspired you? Too fucking bad. Look at the facts. Make the most intelligent decision.

          I think if you have any long term vision, the best solution is revolution. There was no choice available in which things get better. The only choice is how fast do you want things to get worse.

            Things would get pretty bad during and after a revolution as well.

            If the authoritarians win - shit gets 100x worse for everyone “for the sake of security”

            If the revolutionaries win there is a good chance those that become the new head of state aren’t going to be much better and/or now that it’s been proven that revolutions can change governments whose to say that another one doesn’t break out because the new government isn’t doing stuff “right”. This becomes a bloody spiral with no real end.

            Saying we need to revolt without really looking at the long term consequences of that action is foolish.

          The facts are voting for the lesser of two evils is how we got to this point.

          Edit: Before you assume, yes I voted for biden and Harris in 2020 and 2024.
