        Ah, yes. Because that’s the most objectionable part of that opinion, not ‘We should jail people for their voting behavior’. Can you get any more authoritarian?

        Edit: But sure, if that’s where we’re going, I’ll bite:

        It was a two party race. There were no other viable candidates. You didn’t vote against Trump in any meaningful way; you did nothing to prevent our current situation, and that’s a pretty wild stance to be defending.

          no other viable candidates

          But there were other candidates that I actually like. Claudia de la Cruz, for instance.

          All your candidate would do is kick the can down the road for a few years before “the most important election of OUR ENTIRE LIVES” happens again. I’d like to vote for someone I actually support before I inevitably get my throat slit by some SS whackjob, you know?

            She wasn’t “my” candidate, any more than Donald Trump was “your” candidate. I voted against Donald Trump. Folks who voted third party didn’t do that. They may not have voted for him, but they didn’t vote against him.

              If Kamala Harris wasn’t against the genocide, a vote for Kamala wasn’t a vote against Trump, or fascism or anything else.

              Kamala wasn’t going to win while supporting the genocide. Period. It’s not a debate. Voting for her wasn’t a vote against Trump because with her holding that stance, she couldn’t beat Trump (which is objective reality:she didn’t beat Trump).

                So, instead of ‘not voting for genocide’ you voted for ‘genocide and the complete destruction of your own country, too, as well as international destabilization, giving foreign actors free reign to your country’s classified information, and removing healthcare and vaccine mandates so that millions more will suffer and die.’

                Damn, you saved the world

                  You have a mental disorder. There’s no other words for it at this point.

                  We’re talking about structural issues with how elections work and what it takes to win them, and you keep trying to insist its about the individual choices of individual commenters on an obscure social media platform. Its literally fucking maddening.

                  But thankfully, no one is taking you or your side seriously anymore.
