      I didn’t realize you lived in a Broadway play. I’m sure that mindset will help when federal bans/police come in.

      And all those people who don’t have anyone to take care of them? Oh that’s right, you don’t actually care about them. You only care about making yourself feel good.

            of course I do. how bad faith would it be for me to accuse you of not caring about the people in Gaza? or the people who can’t discharge their student debts?

              The difference is I am trying to minimize the harm done and you are not. If biden doesn’t win then trump does, that’s the reality. The fate of the people in Gaza are not what this election dictates. No matter who wins the people in Palestinian (my people) will continue to be bombed. But you know what is effected by the winner? The fate of the women who need abortions and the fate of many trans people. That is what gets decided by this election.

              You’re not doing what you can to minimize the harm done, you are allowing through inaction the worst outcome.

              The election will end with either trump or biden winning. If you don’t vote for biden you are helping trump by making it easier for him to win.

                only a vote for trump helps trump

                  I saw someone else post this

                  If 10 people vote and 5 go to Trump and 5 go to biden then you’ve avoided a Trump victory and allow for another round.

                  If in that 2nd round a person who voted for biden decides to go 3rd party now trump has 5 votes biden has 4 and the 3rd party has 1.

                  The person who switched to 3rd party helped Trump win along with the 5 who voted Trump. If you don’t understand that then you’re being purposefully obtuse. Or you could explain how that 3rd party vote didn’t help Trump without responding with a thought terminating cliche

                    the only votes that help Trump are votes for trump. a vote for Jill Stein or cornel west is a vote against Trump. a vote against Trump doesn’t help Trump.

                    your scenario presumes I would vote for Biden. I did that once in 2008. I haven’t voted for a Democrat for president since and I won’t be voting for Biden this year either.

                I’m voting for the best candidate, someone who won’t bomb brown people.

      How, exactly, do you have the knowledge and capability to take care of a medical emergency that will require what would legally be, a murder?

      What does this mean? You’re going to give abortions for your friends because they can’t legally receive the life-saving medical care they need from doctors?

      You know how often this sort of thing used to kill people? You’re cool having that blood on your hands?

          Women dying of ectopic pregnancies, Mexicans being murdered at the border, and trans kids being beaten to death at their own schools might disagree about that.

          But at least you can pretend that you did something to help, by doing nothing.
