    Not voting at all means a MAGA vote has more influence than your non-vote.

      Well I hope the democrats do something about that.

      Maybe our non-votes will lead to a non-genocide option, and if so, great. That would be pretty awesome influence from those non-votes. If not, if the democrats simply must support genocide even if it means losing over and over and over again, at least I didn’t endorse it. That’s their choice, not mine.

      What the fuck does “maga influence” matter in the face of genocide?

        They tend to be the ones actively cheering for it (at least for anyone who isn’t as white as they like).

              Is it? Were the dems about to stop supplying bombs to Israel? Boy, news to me, I would’ve been pretty energized to work to help the dems win if I had known! You can see my confusion, given that Biden gave them an extra 18 billion and kamala told anti-genocide protesters to shut up. Is there like…any reason to think that things would have been different for palestinians, or is it just like…a vibes thing? …like the cheering?

          among the ones actively cheering for it, alongside every last centrist democrat.
