If we can’t be bothered to vote in the primaries, wjy would anyone believe us that a progressive candidate would somehow lure millions more to vote?
As I know the comments will be, uhhh, fun, I’ve turned off reply notifications.

Do you know what a metaphor is?
I’d rather be the nice stranger on the side of the road helping you change your flat tire than to be thrown into the mix of blind color voting.
Even with that said, I’d still help you change your tire, whether you’re red, blue, tan or brown.
That’s just the sort of person I am.
And that’s great. Ideally there would be more people with that mindset of helping others. As I mentioned this isn’t blind color voting. You either support gay and trans rights, or you support Republicans. You support teachers and the poor, or you support Republicans. Take color out if the equation and take voting at its merits like it should be. It just so happens that all of the worst shit is Republican, so it’s easy to know who to vote for if you have good ideals, which it sounds like you do.
If you want to help the most people possible, then it behooves you to vote blue, or do some spot research right before heading to the polls, which will ultimate lead you to the same conclusion.
Thank you, seriously thank you 👍
I still don’t know how voting actually works, when it happens in my area, when it is, where it is, or how to even properly look all that up without AI slop answers now.
Are you serious? That’s not a metaphor, that’s a confusing run-on paragraph word salad, possibly AI itself.
I still choose peace over picking colored sides of a coin that both lead to war.
I just want a nice peaceful job helping fix things for people or businesses that don’t want to see the world burn down.
Getting metaphorically punched in the mouth or metaphorically getting shot in the face. Neither are actual events, they are metaphors used to illustrate that one side is clearly worse than the other. I never said anyone deserves to get shot in the face. What I said that you quoted is that if you do nothing, you are choosing to support the worst option.
This isn’t a colored sides thing. It’s bad vs less bad. There is no third choice. If you choose nothing in means you’ve chosen bad because of the way a two party FPtP voting system works.
Most of us want peace. One way that you can help is voting for the least bad option, because either the bad or least bad is going to take power. There are obviously many other things you can do to help others like volunteering and donating. The most significant act though is helping prevent awful from being in power, because their actions will outweigh any individual efforts you are capable of.
Neither are metaphors for me, I’ve been abused more than I should say. Mostly punched, partly shot at with jammed guns…
Don’t ever doubt someone that sees their life flash before their eyes everytime they sleep and dream, I’m literally not supposed to be alive today.
