    I vote for the least bad every election. We don’t get better, we just get worse slower. I don’t have a better alternative though, it’s all pretty hopeless.

      But what do you do before the general election? That is the only place to make any real change. If you’re hoping for better options in the general election, what are you doing to help make that happen?

      I gave up in 2024…when 7 million people who voted for Biden failed to show the fuck up to vote against Trump, I took that as my cue that it’s fucking hopeless. I bought a gas-guzzling monster and stopped giving a shit about my cholesterol and blood-pressure… Fuck the world if this is how it works.

        A vote for Biden was a vote for the status quo that created Trump. The same status quo thats not protecting Trump

        The propaganda about “both sides” and “it doesn’t matter” is relentless, yes, but I’m afraid that doesn’t mean you didn’t fall for it. It also worked on 7 million people. That’s why the propaganda is relentless.
