What are they going to do, vote for Trump and his friends, who are even worse?
What they might do is sit out the election or make a third party protest vote. I am no lover of Biden, but if he’s the only viable choice other than Trump, we need him in the office and I’m worried not enough people will realize that.
It’s the same issue Hillary had. Lots of liberals were so fucking tired of the system. They wanted something new. And Hillary was a direct personification of the system; A career politician who had paid her party dues for decades, and felt like the seat had been promised to her. There were a lot of liberals who casted protest votes.
I’ll admit I did that. I voted for Bernie in the Primary and then didn’t vote in the General. Although I lived in Oklahoma where Trump beat Clinton by 529k votes and hasn’t been blue in the last 50 years…
I’d like to think I would have voted for Clinton if my vote counted for anything. If we got rid of the electoral college then I feel like the voting percentage would go up across the country as Republicans in California and Democrats in Alabama would suddenly have a reason to actually vote. I live in Alabama now and it is a STUGGLE to get any of my friends to take the time to go vote.
Yea I’m sorry I was one of them and therefore helped trump get in. I wanted Bernie, still want Bernie, voted Bernie in protest in ‘16 but did my part voting Biden in ‘20. But until trump is dead and republicans are unable to field someone as rallying to their base, I’m forced to vote democrat to prevent fascism overtaking my nation.
I honestly don’t care anymore, everything is already fucked. I might start voting the craziest right wingers going forward, bring on the collapse, the Democratic party is just a different sect of rich fucks that do not give one singular fuck about the people they supposedly represent. This whole place is rotten to it’s core.
Then don’t drag your cohort into hell because you’re being a little pissbaby. If you find it this hard to participate, then don’t. I encourage you and everyone like you to please vote and rebuke fascism, but turning around and burning it all to the ground just hurts people and fixes nothing.
While I agree, I would rather vote and ride it out. Why choose to burn down the system? If you’re going scorched earth don’t bring everyone with you. If you don’t mind dying, take the people responsible for the suffering with you. I’ll give you a hint- It’s not the politicians.
Nope, no sign of slowing. Our Billionaire overlords have shown no regard for our lives. Previously I would worry about a billionaire getting nukes and destroying humanity. I see now I was right but the method wrong. Religious fanatic billionaires will destroy our planet for the onset of their apocalypse and confirmation they are gods chosen people.
Fuckin comical
Yet at the same time we can only hope some sort of technology comes along to remove the carbon. Unlikely but possible

I hope the ones who did have learned their lesson. When the greater of two evils gets in power, greater evil is done.
Which, in our current system, also helps Republicans get elected.
That was my point.

We have no culture beyond consumption and money
This is called accelerationism, it has extremely unfortunate consequences for your minority friends.
I’m exhausted from caring and just seeing humanity continue to go downhill and backwards with no signs of slowing.
who said I’m not a minority myself? :)

Yea that will only cause the death of millions, great idea there mate
Username checks out.
What could go wrong with electing the people who want the opposite things you do?
Electoral nihilism isn’t cool or edgy, it’s stupid. Things could always get worse, and definitely will if a collapse happens.

It’s too late. We’ve ruined this planet, we show zero signs of slowing down.
