This dude really does not want to get reelected again. I hate that he's the only choice. What a piece of shit.

"No" is always an option.

I'm not an accelerationist, so no, it's not really an option. It's cool that you feel like you have the ability to just say "no", but I don't. I have to live here, and if Trump gets elected then there is a very high chance I might find myself in a concentration camp before the end of his term, assuming he doesn't find a way to abolish elections entirely.

So no, I don't really have an option to just shove my thumb up my ass and refuse to vote.

Edit: Sorry about the double post, Lemmy was being weird.

Always have to vote for the furthest left that has a chance to win and hope enough others follow suit. Our system sucks, but the biggest thing holding us back is how far right the country currently is. Even though depressing, your attitude is currently our best shot and I appreciate that you're one of the seemingly few on this platform willing to voice it.
