That’s the messaging I’m getting yes.

NV: We hate the Democrats! Boooooo!

Me: so what’s the plan then, how are you going to vote?

NV:

Me:

NV: Democrats suuuuuuuuck!

Jesus fucking Christ this is getting old. Give people a good fucking reason to vote and they’ll vote. “That narcissist is more fascistic and more willing to support genocide than this corporate hack that only dabbles in appealing to fascists and at least performatively complains about small bit of the genocide… why the fuck didn’t you vote for them?”

I get it. I’m politically active and I know it’s a fucking game that needs to be played. I voted for Harris because I understand that one is significantly, objectively worse than the other. However, I can put myself in someone else’s shoes and empathize.

…wait to be presented with a pretty, pretty pony. No, strike that: a unicorn.

How about just a choice that doesn’t make me feel like we’re slipping into a corporate hellscape? Hell, I’m getting tired of the game myself. Every year I vote for the lesser evil party and every year it feels like both parties get more evil overall. D’s are neoliberal cowards eating billionaire dicks and willing to sustain the status quo and R’s are just fucking fascists. The D’s make sure the R’s get some of what they want to keep the D voters motivated to vote D and kneecap any D’s that might rock the boat.

I get that the fascists are for real and not a threat to be ignored. Hence, I do my part. That just isn’t all that motivating anymore, especially when the lesser evil bets on winning votes from moderates by… appeasing fascists and begging for donations from billionaires? I guess they think it’s safer than rocking the boat?

Work to actually motivate people. Elevate candidates that care about something other than their own power and influence, or at least listen to people who genuinely care.

I know it doesn’t make you feel superior and better than everyone else but if you keep at it you’ll actually make a difference.
