Don’t vote for president if you don’t want to, I get it. It’s stupid we only have 2 options, especially when both are in mental decline and show little to no ambition to reduce needless deaths and suffering. Both want to move this country towards fascism, and both are creating a worse world they won’t have to live in for much longer.
To those who see this and think I’m saying both sides are the same, I’m not. I’ll probably vote for Biden in November because he’s driving towards the cliff at a slower speed and at least does the bare minimum for marginalized in this country. Also Trump said some pretty racist shit last night. Still, to those who don’t want to support either candidate for the reasons above, that’s valid.
The point I’m getting to is VOTE DOWN BALLOT. Vote for your congress person and your senator, both federal and state. Vote for your city council and your sheriff and whatever bills there are and everything else. That’s where the fight still matters. That’s where you can make the most difference. The social justice you want to see won’t get near the white house until it’s represented in the lower offices. It doesn’t matter who the president is if you get enough decent people in a position to stand in their way.
unnecessary addendum
That’s the important bit but here’s a some sort messages to a few blocks of voters. To Republicans and right wingers, you should reevaluate your positions because what you’re supporting is stupid and selfish and often inhumane. To Democrats, if you get enough control over the house and senate it doesn’t really matter if Trump is president, also recognize and correct the failures of your party please. To the leftists, please run for office and bring those ideas into the mainstream discussion, try to reach out to your community and to share rather than driving them away with self righteousness. Also, don’t be bigoted, that goes for everyone.
Edit: I even said I was voting for Biden and the libs are still mad I think he sucks. Again, the point of this post is to get people to pay attention to the other things on their ballot. The president isn’t as important or as powerful as we act like it is. And if you want better options, you have to support better options in races where they actually have a chance.
We still have snow sometimes that means there’s no global warming.
If we had two trillion snowstorms one recent winter, when every other winter since like 1980 had been more or less 0 except for some healthcare that fell once from the sky during winter 2010, I actually think that would represent a factor that someone could bring up to say bro at least in the last couple of years it seems like it’s been getting colder
And then on top of that if someone else said naw man it’s all global warming anyway so ergo I don’t mind if we bring back the guy who owns his own personal methane factory staffed by like 30% of the country at this point and has promised to turn it on and produce nothing but methane all the time and also kill anyone with an electric car, because it’s all pretty much the same, I think that would represent a factor that would make me question that person’s motivations in saying that
That was pretty weird. You’re also misrepresenting my argument. As far as my motivations for posting, they are 1, get people to vote even if it’s not for president and 2, steer more conversation towards local politicians.
