    Isn’t the “privilege of voting for someone you like” called “your right to vote”?
    You think my right to vote is a privilege?
    But sure, according to this meme voting democrat is the only way to protect voting rights which don’t exist and are a privilege
    I won’t be moralistically scolded into voting for the moderate wing of fascism.

      Right, you’ll instead be convinced to feel morally superior while supporting (by not voting against) the non-moderate wing of fascism. Won’t you just feel so clean and superior while Trump harms the people you want to protect?

      It’s privileged to think that you have an inherent right to vote for someone who aligns with all your values. You vote for the person who has the best chance of winning who aligns most closely with your values. You vote for the person who has the best chance of stopping the fascist from winning.You have to be strategic with your vote as long as our system is FPTP. Or you can tacitly support the fascists while claiming to be morally superior by not voting.

        “It’s privileged to think that you have an inherent right to vote”

        There it is again

        “You vote for the person who has the best chance of stopping the fascist from winning.”

        But you are a fascist. You don’t support my right to vote. You support Joe Biden, who is continuing to build the wall, has not stopped putting kids in cages in concentration camps, is funding a genocide in Gaza, sat idly by while abortion rights got overturned instead of codifying Roe, and on and on and on. Every metric libs used to call Trump a fascist applies to Joe Biden. It’s so boring.

        “while supporting (by not voting against)”

        Hang on, if I don’t vote Trump that means I’m not voting against Biden. By your logic that means I am effectively supporting Joe Biden. So we’re good then, I did what you want. Lmao, it never gets old how moronic democrats are. Endless free entertainment.
