claim 1: “voting doesn’t change anything”Never forget the recent case of Kris Mayes, who refuses to uphold the Arizona supreme court’s sweeping ban of abortion.

Kris Mayes only won her 2022 election by 280 votes. Voting changes things.

claim 2: “but genocide joe”Yep. Hold that fucker’s feet to the fire. He has blood on his hands

But trump has promised to be indisputably worse.

I won’t tell you how to vote. I just encourage you to vote. You’re not radical for ditching the only miniscule right the state has granted you to do some small aid for your neighbors.

So what you're saying is it doesn't matter to you whether it's a little genocide or a lot of genocide, either is equally acceptable to you?

It's funny, all you purity testers, once someone crosses your "I refuse to support" line, then everything beyond that is equally bad to you. I think you guys have a fundamental inability to understand scale.

It's a classic trolley problem. Throw the lever, one person dies. Don't throw the lever, ten people die. You'd rather have 9 extra people die so you can pretend your conscience is clean.
