      I feel I am. I have presented my case. You’re the one that wants to be counter productive and making excuses for people to stay home. “There will be opposition”, brov there will be in each case. Just take an evening to vote its a small ask; the fact its too big for you means we cannot count on you for the bigger stuff.

        I don’t see why you think lying about my position is doing you any favors, I already told you I voted. The fact that you put such a huge emphasis on voting and arguing for it means you likely cannot be depended on to actually take to the streets and roll up your sleeves.

          Glad you did, please help encourage more people to do so as well. We could all have an even bigger leftist movement. Voting is only a small part of what we need to do, but we should not neglect it.

            You’re tiring. Voting will not meaningfully advance the leftist movement beyond advertisement, and acting like this stance is counter-productive is harmful to getting meaningful change.

              It is still helpful to be heard and minimize harm. Its good that you are privileged and won’t be targeted by ICE for example, but others are. Voting as left as possible shows that the overall population is not going to welcome them.

              Enjoy your privilege @[email protected], the rest of us do have to deal with the consequences of the elections.

                Bold assumption that ICE isn’t an active threat to myself and those I care about, and no matter what the election results show, ICE is still a bipartisan institution. What stops ICE is organizing, striking, and protesting, not whether or not I vote Green, PSL, etc. ICE doesn’t give a shit who people voted for, they aren’t a democratic institution, they are here to forcibly deport and kill people.

                Enjoy your privledge, where you think voting is a meaningful way to resist ICE.
