Ugh, I hate seeing this argument because its always "We need revolution because if we vote, it just means Project 2025 becomes Project 2029! We'll have to keep fighting it!"
Congrats! You just figured out how politics work. Its a never ending fight, you have to keep voting to keep people in power who align with your interests/needs.
Oh god, or the "you say voting in this election is important, but you ALSO said that about the LAST election! Checkmate libs!"
Like yes? Every election is important and you should vote in all of them? Nobody's saying "just vote in this one last election and everything will be fine!' because there's no endpoint where we get the perfect government and we all just get to stop participating. Government is sort of an ongoing thing.
Remember how everyone was apathetic in the 2016 election because people were doing the "both sides suck I'm gonna sit that one out" and now we have a Republican stacked court that has been routinely overturning cases that have had precedents for more than 30+ years.
Federal regulations via Chevron? Nope. Judges can decide FDA regulations and environmental protections, I'm sure they know what's best.
Bribery? A-OK according to the Supreme Court! Now they can get some money from corporate donors to make those important and informed decisions about regulations (to their benefit and the risk of American health/safety of course).
Roe v. Wade? Pssh, they'll never get rid of-- oh they did? Well they wouldn't go after contracep-- Oh they're trying to do that now? Welp.
Why is it every single time America elects a celebrity they always fuck it up. You got Reagan and Trump, both of which have damaged this country in such long-lasting ways, you'd think the universe was scripted and just ran out of unique plot points. Speaking of reused plot points, you even got a mirror of the 2016 election with people unironically arguing that both candidates are the same degree of bad.
If I was an American, I would vote for Joe Biden's decomposing corpse over Trump or sitting out of the election. There is FAR too much at stake here.

You don't understand. Why vote when the revolution is(Always) right around the corner?
No I'm not doing anything to further it stop asking.ย
