No, I didn’t vote for either. It was pretty easy to vote against Harris, while also voting against this. Maybe next time the Dems should run a candidate that at least pretends to care about what the voters want. That tends to help in elections.

All of this I agree with. Unfortunately it won’t happen until all the neolibs are run out of the party.
But trying to pretend like you didn’t directly elect a dictator by “abstaining” is not only absurd, but ethically reprehensible. Much of life is about choosing between lesser evils and lesser pains. Letting the worst options win because a perfect one doesn’t (and cannot) exist makes you a deliberate, willing accomplice.

I’d say painting all third party or non-voters to be more absurd and ethically reprehensible, as would most people with a brain
Or are you gonna claim the millions of votes in California that went up cast helped trump win? Elections in the US aren’t simple, people need to stop oversimplifying them
If there is a next time, I will absolutely say to vote lesser evil again. Without a workable alternative, that is the option. I still see no workable alternative. Longshot third parties with ~1% polling are not a workable alternative. Vague revolution composed of ~1% of the population is not a workable alternative. When you have a plan, with reasonable chances of success, we can talk.
I would like you to say that you won’t vote lesser evil next time, since you believe the idea of a “next time” is laughable and are probably an honest person.

I would accept that in 2016. This time around you dipshits knew what the result of your apathy would be and did it anyway.
“Next time”.
Good luck with that. Chump.
So you’ll never say lesser evil again, right? Since there won’t be a next time?

What’s your goal right now?

You’re going to have to connect the dots for me, I’m kind of stupid. Why would I do that?
Why not? It’s not like next time is going to happen, right?
I don’t see how one follows the other. Maybe you should make a diagram for me while I go fix a drink.
Too young to vote huh?
