Fine, let's run with this analogy:
We're all in prison, both dudes will keep us there. One dude wants to murder your gay cell mate and give smaller cells to Hispanic prisoners. Voting, not voting, neither will win you your freedom. Your vote might make your friend's life easier.
Which political party is restricting the speech of LGBTQ+ people right now? Which party wants to put them all on a list? Which party is visibly anti-labor instead of just pretending not to be?
If you want change, fight for it. If Trump wins you activate hard mode.
Good, thats when democrats come back from brunch and start paying attention to what the WH is doing.
There will be so much damage done before the dems get their shit together, if they ever do. Trump (or whoever takes over after him when he dies of stroke/heart attack) may not let us have a normal 2028 election.
As far as damage, check out “project 2025” if you don’t believe me. Many parts of federal government will be hogtied at best, and that includes ones that people like, like the EPA. I, for one, like environmental protections.
Even if the damage stops after one term, you can’t unfuck the thanksgiving turkey.
Edit: by the way, I’m no democrat, I just recognize we’re playing with fire here.
Project 2025 is the 50 year accumulation of 'lesser evil' voting. Democrats refusing to hold their own politicians accountable and lashing out at everyone trying to, has allowed evil to grow so large our very government has become authoritarian. The marginalized have had versions of P2025 all their lives, some communities for decades, others for centuries. While dems claimed to have their concerns in mind, they kept electing their oppressor. It only scares white liberals now because its finally something that will impact them directly. THIS is what leftists have been warning liberals about for years, but their only interest was protecting the status quo, a status quo that protected them and the privilege it granted. For right now they will oppose it, but when it gets rebranded as something positive in a few years and offered up by a democrat they will laud it as progress.
