Except why does that vote have to mean that you support them and not that you don't support the even worse people. If we may never be able to vote again and may never have another ruler besides dictator don Will that have been worth the moral high ground?
Participating in an election means you are agreeing to abide by the outcome of the election. By not participating you are protesting and saying I not recognise the legitimacy of this process.
Wrong. The act of living in the USA at all is agreeing to recognise their laws and processes and outcomes of elections. You sound like one of those sovereign citizens that think they can get out of arrest/court/prison by "not consenting" to it.
Something i'd like to ask is what did you expect but legitimately. And what are you doing to fix it you cant have a plan for having the betterment of a problem like in Gaza it fail cause both of the two known and only voteable options are genociders then choose to do nothing and that be the entire plan right. Assumedly your forming groups, protesting, pushing for reform not JUST non voting and sitting being a key board warrior right?
Gaza is not a problem to me. I honestly don’t give a shit.
I don’t want anything except to be left alone, and neither party seems to be capable of doing that
Inaction IS an action the only choice for non voting is ignorance OR confidence your actions will lead to an outcome that involves a new party entering or reforming. But again the issue is KNOWINGLY If trump won everyone said and knew we would be losing our rights and democracy and ANY chance to vote for someone much more reasonable so now there will be no process for you to not recognize I guess.
Barack “I’ve got a pen, and I’ve got a phone.” Obama shows the same attitude from the other side.
It’s more palatable, but it’s still the same oppressive bullshit
