I totally understand feeling slimy as fuck being forced to vote for people like that. I don’t know what alternatives there are for the upcoming month other than just sucking up and going through with the voting. That doesn’t mean you’re sacrificing your morality or values by playing the game for election day. Just for those days, you play their game to try and claw some voice back. Every other day we must force them to play our game. We aren’t, we maybe can’t right now, but we can’t also let them play us on the few days we’re forced to engage them on their turf. Elections are the civic duty you go through as part of your social contract, but that’s not where our true fight lies. That’s how I see it at least; its a moment to hold the line, voice some sort of opinion, limited though it may be. It may be the only thing allowing you to organize in the future without being labeled a terrorist for your dissenting opinions.

I don’t know what alternatives there are for the upcoming month other than just sucking up and going through with the voting. Well there were two years to work that out. Every other day we must force them to play our game. Maybe you should have done that some time in the last decade then It may be the only thing allowing you to organize in the future without being labeled a terrorist for your dissenting opinions. Lol

Nobody can force me to vote for genocide. Weird how that works, isn’t it?
