PerniciousKnid posted:I never really understood the "don't vote" protest. It affects nothing. At least if you send in a 3rd party you're being counted separately from the burnouts. Same. I get that not-voting "sends a message" in a way, but in practice, your lack of participation makes it easier for the two major parties -- you're just one less person they need to persuade in the future.

If you don't vote they don't know why you didn't vote. A protest vote, ideally for a third party that ends up with more votes than the margin of victory, is the best way to send a message. It tells them that they could have won. But democrats are cowards and morons and don't understand people at all. They think that for every inch left they move they gain less than one left wing voter for every hundred centrist votes they'll lose. In the end democrats would rather lose than be moved leftward.

I am not voting because you basically have to be missing a limn to vote absentee here and the lines have already been hours long but I'm doing my part by saying I voted for the Greens and making fun of liberals who are in full witch hunt/meltdown mode when they're not gloating about the reign of Glorious Joe Who Will Arrest Le Epic Cheeto For Breach Of Decorum

the democrats are controlled opposition, totally captured by capital. vote or don't vote, win or lose, its the same to them. they collect their paychecks either way. they don't care about appealing to the left, and even if they did and voters buy their lies they're not going to push through any meaningful reform anyways

Voting Green rules because I'm doing so first and foremost because I believe it's a combination of platform that I agree with and candidate who might actually execute some meaningful amount of that platform, but it also makes the worst, dumbest people very mad and what's not to love about that? And I am also fortunate enough to live in a state that the Democrats did not successfully remove the Greens from the ballot in, so my vote is a recorded vote that did not go to them, also good. Hopefully it's the vote that pushes them into panicking about their decline and either doubling down even harder, accelerating their destruction, or into reform (lmao, just kidding). A boy can dream. Compare this to voting Democrat. What's to be gained there, when the marketing so far has been "we will change nothing", "we are owed your vote as The Good Guys", "have you seen the alternative? The one alternative, this is strictly a two party system, there are no other choices, and if you see anyone else listed on your ballot just ignore them because something something voting for Trump" etc. Plus the generally accepted concept that you're voting for a guy who is going to die / step down before he even finishes a term. A guy who has a long and rich career of being god-awful when given any amount of power. How inspiring. e. speaking of, hello from COVID ground zero, NoJoe in Snoho:

He's not tanned, he uses spray tan! That's a meaningful difference (according to a bunch of folks whose lifestyle includes tanning by privilege of both leisure time and expensive location).

NoJoe now, NoJoe2024 unless some of the brokebrains insisting he'll usher in a new age of leftism are somehow correct. Or more likely, NoMala.
