Don't you find it strange how every single election is somehow "the most important election in the history of the universe, in which we are on the brink of democratic and societal collapse"? But then when you vote for the lesser evil (Dems), basically nothing gets done, nothing gets fixed, and we simply move further to the right? Doesn't that bother you?

40% of Americans can't afford a 1 bed apartment, don't have healthcare, are in debt for decades from education, etc ... and Kamala is telling people to "be quiet I'm talking" and campaigning with republicans while sending billions of our tax dollars to fund a genocide.

While I didn't protest vote, I will 100% stand by those who did, because we deserve better than Kamala fucking Harris and the Dems.

What Democrats call "protest voting" is not protest voting. Protest voting is when you write in Mickey Mouse or something stupid like that.

When you vote for your favorite candidate, that isn't "protest voting". That's normal voting, and that's what you should always be doing.

I don't know what you call whatever Democrats do when they "vote blue no matter who". We need a new term for that. Maybe "zombie voting".
