    Unironically this. The only reason people are smugly refusing to decide (and trying to convince others to abstain too) is they’re insulated from the consequences, often via privilege or distance.

    If anyone truly had to take a bite, they’d choose the vomit sandwich.

      first of all, I am not your mom and you should decide if you vote, and for who like an adult.

      Also, to what end? Clearly voting doesn’t work, it has been decades of this destructive push and pull and americans are seemingly “happy” with it, the entire world gets fucked over continuously by the usa regardless. If anything the accelerationists might have a point and voting for trump is the good thing to do as he is speedrunning the destruction of american hegemony.

        Clearly voting doesn’t work

        This is the biggest nugget of untruth that builds your snowball of confusion.

        You look at one or several elections going poorly and you decide democracy is a failed premise.

        Imagine applying the same logic to getting a good job, a best friend, or any other venture with low odds of success per attempt.
