He got me to read the Manifesto and would have hours' long debates with our social-democratic roommate and now this. It's really shaking me up a bit.

He is on the whole defeatist 'nothing will fundamentally shake the imperial machine so might as well pick the wardog with better domestic policies' tip. I want to get through to him but I am getting stuck.

For example:

i also refuse to not vote my conscience but i figured this time its not like doing this abstract process to pick if id prefer -100 points vs -200 points is gonna matter that much if i genuinely believe itll even be slightly better under kamala i might as well

It's not about whether voting matters or not, it's about watching a supposed comrade fail such an obvious litmus test

If some "leftist" started bragging about voting for Trump or pressuring people to do the same, we'd rightly dogpile that dipshit, it's not the act of voting that's causing the beef, it's who you're voting FOR that leads to these rifts
