    That’s the point, I’ve noticed a lot of the loudest, most active posters on Lemmy ultimately want one thing, which is progressives not to vote. Weird how that’s what the conservatives have relied on for every presidential victory they’ve achieved in the past half century or more.

      Votes are earned not freely given. Your vote is your voice. Definitely vote at the local and state levels where your voice can be the loudest.

        And if you only want to give half a vote, give it to Trump and JD.

        (Because not voting is very similar to half a vote for the other guy.)

          Not voting wasn’t a vote for Trump. Did not voting for Trump mean a vote for Harris?

            It would mean you wouldn’t have minded a Harris victory. The comment even explicitly said “half a vote” to reflect this.

            This commentary is frequently also accompanied with blaming Harris voters for things that Trump is doing…

        First off, it’s four years, get your math right. Secondly, we only bomb browns, we just sell the bombs to anyone wanting to bomb whites. “Foreigner” and “non-foreigner” really have nothing to do with it. I think mainly we just feel really secluded over here and we don’t want to be left out of all the cool Europe and Asia and Africa happenings, this is just the only way we can express ourselves.
