    I see an awful lot of people post-justifying doing nothing as some form of radical resistance.

    Well, sure, maybe it is resistance, and maybe they have a clear conscience… But it didn’t do a fucking thing, did it?

      Yeah, abstaining from voting accomplishes nothing. They should’ve voted for an anti-genocide candidate like Jill Stein or Cornel West.

      I see it this way. They want to stop the atrocities in Gaza by any means possible. I can’t blame them for that, but I can blame them for how they went about doing it.

      Let’s boil it down to playing a simple game. You can play by the rules, and play smart, and win. Or, if you don’t like the game, you can play a different game and win that one.

      By voting for someone other than Kamala (or not voting) they are inherently playing the game, and playing to lose.

      If you want to play a different game, then you need to do some Luigi shit instead of sitting on your thumbs bitching about things.

      So in the end, they played the game, and they played to lose, and now we’re all fucked because of it, and I don’t respect that decision at all.
