    We have a 2 choices, they have 1. 2 is choices are better than 1, even if both choices are shitty. One shitty candidate still has to compete with the other shitty candidate to win votes. This is better than 1 shitty candidate with full reign and no accountability.

    Perhaps you dislike both candidates equally, and have somehow decided that you will always hate both candidates equally, now and in the future. In that context, perhaps you think you are making a concrete point.

    But I am not you. I’d prefer Biden over Trump, and I can vote for one over the other. If i couldn’t, that would be worse, for me, and many millions of other voters who don’t share your equal/perpetual disdain for both candidates.

    So yes, it can get worse. If not for you, then for others, who are not you. If you still don’t understand the source of disagreement here, God have mercy on you.

        Depends. What magical being comes down from the Heavens to end genocide in this world if I don’t vote?

                    And I asked how not voting for him this cycle would stop genocide and you doubled down on your whole “see voting doesn’t matter so you’re not any better off than Russia / China” quip.

                    So all things being equal I consider the thousands of other issues in this world that might be affected by this election, and somehow that means I wants to murder thousands of innocent people.

                    How about this, if you keep replying to me with bullshit like this instead of spending your time doing something constructive to stop genocide, you support genocide.
