            It’s everywhere lately. It’s mostly something along the lines of both Biden and Trump being bad choices, so just don’t make a choice to “send a message”. Especially with the Israel/Palestine stuff, a large group has been convinced that Biden providing aid to the massacre of Palestinians means them voting for him is immoral. I agree it fucking sucks, but not voting is the immoral option. Remember how Trump tried to move things even further to Israel’s favor.

            Some of it is a disinformation campaign to get people to not vote, but I think a large portion of what you see is people who have been convinced of it themselves and spread it organically. It’s impossible to tell the difference though, and it doesn’t really matter that they are different. They are effectively the same, but you can’t tell who actually believes it and who just sees it as useful.

              don’t make a choice to “send a message”.

              no one has said this.

                I have seen it plenty of times. How can you say no one has said it. In this thread, yeah I don’t think so. It’s all over the place though.

          That was not low-effort. I had to make that meme.

          You can’t bully someone into voting the way you want, that’s not democratic and bordering on authoritarianism. It also hardens their resolve and makes them more likely to vote against your position.

      I will vote for him the second he stops supplying arms to a genocidal regime.

              This just in, standing against genocide is “bad faith rhetoric!” More at 8!

                  No you called my position bad faith rhetoric and doubled down on it being merely propaganda. I’m not manufacturing anything. I didn’t commit any war crimes. I didn’t ask Biden to be complicit in any war crimes. I have observed that he is complicit and have decided to withhold my vote on ethical reasons.

                  You so desperately want me to be a GOP shill you cannot see that I’m a progressive who will not vote for enabling genocide. It’s really that simple. And apparently I’m not alone.

                  I’m not going to vote for any presidential candidate if he continues down this road.
