You can not want to do something and still recognize that abstaining from that vote is against the best interests of those who will be harmed if the wrong people end up gaining power. I sure didn’t like voting for Kamala. But I’m smart enough to realize that was the best option I had.
Tbf the only reason “she was our best option” is because so many people fall into the two party trap and absolutely refuse to organize and vote for a third party candidate despite having tools to organize better than any time in history. That “but muh two parties” attitude from all of you is a larger part of what’s holding us back than any of you realize.
Btw, to all of you asking “where are the third party people outside of election season” and saying “right now we have to vote to extend genocides, talk about change after” well you just downvoted the one above us 8 times, as every time one posts you must enforce the two party system even during the time you previously deemed it “ok” (no elections going on that I’m aware of).
I’d have a lot more respect for Democrat voters if they’d stop lying about it. You don’t wish there was a third option, you strike down conversation about it unilaterally, you like the two party system at least enough to perpetuate it instead of even look for or consider another option. Just admit you like the democrats and while I may disagree at least you’re being honest with yourselves and others.
Or y’know maybe instead of being a crab in a bucket, be a drop in the bucket of change, every person who votes outside the two party system is one more drop closer to ending the two party system (or at least changing which “two parties” are the big ones, which would still be a step.)
