Arguing with liberals on the internet this morning, and whenever I make a simple more stance that “I refuse to vote for a genocide facilitator” I’m met by nothing but “what if’s”.

“Ok but what if our choices were XYZ”

“But what if trump does this?”

It doesn’t fuckin matter to me, im not casting my vote for either of them.

      it is interesting that i never see calls from libs for compulsory voting like in Australia, even though it would definitely benefit the Democrats. You’d think that’d be one of their major demands given how important voting is to them.

      Part of it is that making any political demands at all, let alone a demand for a structural change that directly solves a problem that they care about, is alien to their political ethos. But I think the larger part is that they actually like that voting is optional, because doing it signals moral superiority and gives them something to chastise the selfish and apathetic over.

        order-of-lenin Yes! That is the main thing libs get from engaging in politics. No one recieves anything material from engaging in politics in the US, libs and chuds aren’t even operating under the idea that such a thing is possible. Chuds get to own the libs, and libs get to feel morally superior
