by the way, these checks and balances do not just apply to the supreme court and congress
it applies to *you*
FUCKING #VOTE, PEOPLE
the next dem candidate may SUCK. fucking SUCK
(they won't suck IF YOU SHOW UP IN THE FUCKING PRIMARIES, USELESS WHINERS)
as if the dem candidate sucking fucking matters with a fascist threat like trump and MAGA
a vote is not a statement of eternal love
it's tactics in a larger war
fight the war and fuck your mindless cynicism and toxic idealism
@benroyce @BrianJopek “But Candidate X isn’t flawless! I might as well just vote for the tyrant!”
I do appreciate when people say that out loud so I know whose opinions I can ignore from that moment on.
What if they're both tyrants?

both tyrants as in reality
or "both tyrants" as in edgelord mindlessly cynical bullshit, often pumped from MAGA/ geopolitical trollfarm accounts cosplaying left to do an easy psyop to suppress the left vote and help elect the real tyrant, and unfortunately believed by toxic idealism morons
As in reality. Here, I'll answer my own question.
If they're both tyrants, who will continue the same tyranny, then your electoral process has already been compromised by tyrants, who are pretending to be different sides to mislead you into voting for them. In that scenario, no vote you make will stop your election from being rigged, so you're an idiot if you think voting third party, abstaining from voting, or voting for the Devil Himself would make anything different happen.
So vote for Harris, but it'll only prolong the tyranny unless you do something besides vote, to stop the propaganda, ballot stuffing, and voter disenfranchisement. And redistribute the wealth so no one has the power to rig your elections.

I vehemently disagree. If we could all collectively decide to opt-out, then sure. But we can't. We won't. The right will absolutely, positively, never agree to abstain from elections. Ergo, the left abstaining is mathematically identical to voting for the right.
Voting for the lesser evil sucks. Not voting for the lesser evil is implicitly voting for the greater evil.
Sometimes the lesser evil is genuinely, truly... Less Evil.
