    I can’t even with you people. “Not voting” is never going to get you anything you want. Ever. You think “voting is showing my undying love for somebody!” when it’s really “Which of these assholes is going to lead to a better outcome?”

    If you don’t think Pritzker would lead to a better outcome than Trump then you’re probably too stupid to figure out the voting ballot anyway.

      I vote. I vote in the primaries, and the general elections, and the special elections. That doesn’t mean I’m deluded enough to believe it’s actually doing anything, but obviously harm reduction is the only path we have.

      Trump is just continuing the same policies that every other president has put forward. Some times the have a D next to their name and they nicer things for social issues, and then everybody forgets that they’re also war criminals who are enacting a massive anti-immigrant deportation policy.

      If you think Pritzger is any different, than you’re probably too stupid to realize you’ve been voting for all of this to happen the whole time.

          Oh, so I wasn’t feeding and clothing immigrants in the largest open air detention facility in the history of the country during the Biden admin? Weird, I guess that was a dream. I guess I dreamed all of the family separation and children in prisons back during the Obama admin too.

              It’s not. People act like this rise in fascism came out of nowhere and I’m saying that there were signs. People didn’t want to read them because it would have interrupted whatever fun weekend they were having, or whatever, but the signs were there. This has been an ongoing project for decades. It didn’t start with Trump and it won’t end with him either
