Despite everything, if you're in the US, you should still vote
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
When given a choice between a millitary industrial neoliberal with a rainbow voting base and a fascist who is one elon musk golf session away from banning HRT, the best option is certainly not to refuse to play out of protest
And remember to vote for whoever you want. Just because you vote third party doesn't mean your vote is wasted or to vote for somebody else because who knows who you would have voted for if it wasn't for third party. Those people that say that shit can fuck off.
Edit: y'all are just as bad as maga losers. If I don't vote for your guy, it's a wasted vote. Just go out and vote, period, for whoever you want. Ignore all these people trying to get you to vote for their person. Vote for whomever YOU like. Nothing wrong with endorsing a candidate but trying to make someone look stupid or evil for voting is really pathetic.
Either Harris or Trump are going to win the election. Not voting for Harris is voting for Trump. Yes, it fucking sucks, but especially if you're a woman or a queer person, really think about whether you actually think it doesn't matter which one wins.
Voting is not an endorsement of a candidate. It's a tool. Don't let them take away your rights while you're waiting for the perfect candidate that will never come.
Charitable read: I think they're talking in general, not just for the president. voting third party is actually pretty viable in certain areas of the country for certain state positions
