This has some real "you're protesting wrong" vibes.
This comment has some real I dont understand or acknowledge the consequences of my actions, vibes.
the consequences of my actions
Who is the president and who did you vote for last time?
Biden and Biden. Voted for Bernie in the primary, couldn't get him to the nomination, then I put on my big boy pants and voted Biden because the alternative was Trump. It's pretty simple.
And the consequences for your actions are drowning traps in the Rio Grande river, war in Europe, and genocide in the middle east. But you don't understand or acknowledge the consequences of your actions; you project them onto your opponents out of power.
You have blood on your hands and big boy pants on your legs. But at least you get to infantilize people with dead families that you had a hand in killing.
A vote for a third party would have resulted in either the same consequence or worse. The difference is you get to pretend to be detached from it because you didn't directly vote for the guy. Spare me the self righteous bullshit.
"It doesn't matter how many children I murder as long as I can imagine someone else being worse than I am"
And you have the fucking nerve to talk down to people while claiming THEY spew self righteous bullshit? You materially support genocide. You pretend to be detached from it because you imagine in your fucking mind palace that things could be worse, so it doesn't matter what you did. And no matter how horrible your actions, it never will. No matter how much worse you get.
You're worse than Trump but you still use him as an excuse purely out of vibes. Every single thing you pretended to care about when he was president you made worse. But you're better. Fucking nazi pig.
Two questions.
-
Do you think that this barrage of personal attacks sways anyone to your side or solves anything at all?

What is your alternative? Your solution? Vote 3rd party? Green? Libertarian? Vote for Trump? Don't vote at all? Please. Share your wisdom so that we may learn! You shit on me for merely participating in an election, thereby making everything that happened after personally and wholly my fault, I guess. What would you have had me do otherwise? How the fuck do you suggest we fix things, smartass? Or are you just here to rage and attack and be completely useless?

I correctly point out that you're morally culpable for your own part and you lie through angry gritted teeth and say I'm acting like it's "wholly" your fault. Petulant little baby.
I don't want you on my side. I want to shame you publicly. You're doing and saying stupid, evil shit. That needs to be said out loud or else everyone else is going to start thinking it's normal. Voting for a genocidal racist is giving material support to genocide and racism. There's no amount of hollow rhetorical hedging that absolves that. You're deciding to use your minuscule political effort to push us towards a more fascist future. It feels like a personal attack to point out what you're doing because you're being a piece of shit nazi.
What is your alternative? Your solution? Vote 3rd party? Green? Libertarian? Vote for Trump? Don’t vote at all? Please. [euphoric rant continues]
Do you even live in a 'swing' state? I don't. I think you're dumb as hell for ranting at me about my vote without confirming I'm one of the 18% of the population that lives in one. You frame all of your solutions in terms of voting when anyone but the slowest of children can clearly see that as a dead end.
But if you want to vote and don't want to put your own personal approval behind fascism, don't vote for a fascist, I guess. Satisfied?

Genuinely curious, do you believe wrong ways to protest exist?
There's lightyears of difference between "stop throwing paint on statues and blocking roads" and "stop sitting on your privilege with your vote and allowing the disemprivileged to be meat grindered because you think this time it'll teach the incredibly privileged who happen to be nearest to you politically a lesson."
