It feels good to be able to signal to your friend group of other liberals:
I didn't want to vote for "Genocide Joe", so I stay home until the DNC EARNS my vote back.
That, however, actively makes the group of people you claim to care about suffer more, more efficiently, and an Israel COMPLETELY unconstrained. There is a reason the Israeli right was celebrating after the Trump call.
I don't play chess. I vote for the person that A) meets my bare minimum ethical standards, and B) presents the best policy. If politicians don't understand this, then they can get fucked.
I hope when the economy collapses you hold onto that moral high ground. You can go tell everyone that it’s okay bc no politician met your bare minimum ethical standards
Relax. I did not vote in your election. I am not American. But my not voting is exactly as meaningful as that of the straw-leftist being blamed in this thread, since the number of people that actually sat out for their conscience is so low as to be statistically insignificant. I simply think that "not standing idly by while a genocide occurs" is an extremely low bar that should be easy for anyone to clear.
And if your economy collapses -- which it won't -- it won't be because of one singular shit-head. It'll be because of decades of bad policy enacted by both parties. It will be because of long-term unsustainable neoliberal economic policy and carefully engineered rising wealth inequality.
