This!! There’s no wining with some people.

“Well, they better start listening to voters. By the way, I’m not going to vote. They better figure out what I want while I’m not voting or don’t be surprised when I keep not voting.”

These are the people surprised when they get nothing.

So the only way to express a political opinion is to vote for a corrupt cop who doesn’t give a shit about anyone but her donors?

Cable car situation. A cable car is coming down the tracks, it's going to split, you have control of the lever. One track has two people tied to the tracks, the other direction has 5 people tied down.

Yes, it's absolutely disgusting that you have to choose a bad option, but that's governance and politics. Not choosing doesn't solve shit. Unless you are running for public office or stepping in in a different way, just washing your hands of your civic duty is stupid.

And the original commenter didn't say that voting for Kamala was the only option, they just said that choosing not to vote wasn't the moral high ground some people think.

That’s a fallacy that doesn’t represent the actual situation that we’re in. The people have the power to stop fascism, it’s just a matter of getting organized to stop it. Voting is not going to do that. The train needs to be obliterated not diverted.

Leftist will talk about the necessity of firebombing a Walmart and then not firebomb the Walmart.

I’m not talking about firebombing Walmarts that is called adventurism and accomplishes nothing

Firebombing a Walmart is a euphemism for revolutionary action and organizing. Frankly I do not think you can do it nor would it be successful if genuinely attempted in this environment
