Wut? You’re in a thread filled with people saying they’re not voting at all and I’m responding to a comment that reiterated just that!
Quit being obtuse. I left reddit cuz it was impossible to have a genuine discussion about hot button issues…real sad this topic has exposed that lemmy is full of the same crop of people.
The only whining I see is a bunch of shortsighted idealists that clearly don’t understand how their government functions.
Biden isn’t the only person on the ballot, and the reason progressives have zero representation is cuz ya’ll never show up to fucking vote outside of a general election.
This exact same attitude is why Trump won in 2016, that’s the fucking reality of a two party ‘first past the post’ voting system.
So if you actually gave a fuck about our government funding genocides, which isn’t anything new if you’d bother to pay attention to anything past what’s spoon feed to you on social media, then you’d understand voting is the only real power we have as citizens to exact change, and abstaining from it allows others to decide for you.
But please, keep believing I’m whining for understanding the same concept the fascists are currently using to push their agenda.
Cuz clearly all those abortion protests and people bombing clinics are the reason Roe v Wade was rolled back, surely can’t be because republicans consistently voted in representation that openly said they would stack the courts in their favor and got what they fucking wanted. Nah that’s stupid.

How about you quit being a fucking stooge?
You’re having a fucking whinge about “progressives” who won’t “vote blue no matter who”.
How about the Biden administration not fucking fund a genocide? Why is that such a fucking hard ask? Why is that progressives fault?

You left reddit but remained a huge fucking liberal loser?
