    Did you see this post? Its not about voting in primaries. It’s about not participating because the ball is going to be pulled out in front of you. Yes, vote in primaries. Also, vote in the general for the best candidate.

    You say everyone already votes in the general, but that’s blatantly not true. There’s an especially rampant trolling effort to get people not to vote who would vote against Republicans. It’s strategic apathy. It happened last time, and it’s happening now. If you don’t see this, you’re blind.

        Really showing off that American education, “instead of voting for the less genocidal platform I’ll enable the much more genocidal platform because I don’t understand civics or harm reduction!”

          Just saying, when you support genocide, some people will take a stand, and you won’t always like how they do it.

          . . . not to mention lying about it, calling opponents of genocide antisemites . . .

          I’m sorry if you still can’t see how some people would look at all of that and realize that both sides want them dead.
