I say this with a 100% genuine and serious tone: this is a truly, truly stupid take.

I really, earnestly, sincerely mean it. Vastly stupid take.

We can blame you because voting is part of your duty living in a democracy.

George Carlin would have been smart enough to realize the dangers we were facing. I’m not a huge fan of Biden or the DNC but my vote will be a vote against Trump.

That’s how you end up with the bigger evil.

By saying that you’re admitting you’re ok with a Trump dictatorship. Fuck off.

Then you abide the greater evil. The choice of not taking a side is still itself a choice. If you have friends, family, colleagues that would be effected by the outcome of the election, and you decide to not participate, you are doing them a disservice.

Why should you care about politicians and vote when they don’t do good things?

It goes both ways.

To anyone that genuinely doesn’t like either party, I think that you can still vote for a third party in the US? The system is rigged against them, but any little helps.

Or just ruin your ballot to show dissatisfaction in the status quo and maybe give the counters a good laugh.

You screw the Canadians, Mexicans, Ukrainians, and a bunch of normal countries around the world, not to mention some other friends across the pond.

Protest voting is exactly what Trump is hoping people will do because he knows his constuency is too small if people turn out to vote in greater numbers.

Oh yeah, voting for the “lesser evil” is what people should do. But if you’ve already decided to vote for neither anyway, you may as well protest vote for the benefit of whatever world exists next election.
