    I understand the sentiment of wanting to spite them but they would prefer you vote for Trump because you would be the one person they can use to say that millions of leftists are just accelerationists, and then they can just dismiss everyone to the left of Dick Cheney forever

      It’s not out of spite, though spite may cloud my judgement.

      But my thinking is that they hate and dismiss leftists anyway, things get worse anyway, the only difference is whether they support the power.

      Then I remember they’re useless no matter what so I stick to my own principles.

        Voting for Trump is like voting for Kamala and saying “But I don’t personally support her, just don’t like the other candidates.” Trump doesn’t care what you intended, you still voted for him. Doing that endorses every part of his platform, regardless of how you personally feel.

        Don’t talk yourself into being a contrarian just because democrats are a bunch of ghouls lol

        I mean, vote for PSL if you want to, hell even if it’s a write in and they throw it out. You :vote:d but the system is broken and corrupt and doesn’t honor your will. Or just don’t vote at all because voting in a bourgeois democracy is a sham. Those are far better actions than just voting for Trump out of spite.
