I assume this is fine for the rules since punching Nazis is kinda the whole gist of 196. Also there’s no real rules to follow 🤷‍♀️

    Vote left and feel complicit, to a degree, for that candidates’ policies related to Palestine. Vote right (or not at all) and feel complicit in further violence AND reduction in LGBT+ protections in my home country.

    Yep, I made my choice in ‘wasting’ my vote. Crazy to me when people think not voting will get politicians to suddenly seek out their policies, when instead they’ll just shift further to the right to capture politically active voters across the aisle.

    Do you (presumed non-voter) feel responsible for any of what was just shot through executive orders today?

      Not in the slightest. But I do see a lot of people looking for scapegoats. I’ve been screamed at and heckled for my decision not to support Harris (as though my single vote in the bleeding red state of Texas was going to be a deal-breaker).

      I certainly feel persecuted for failing to blindly Vote Blue No Matter Who. But that just means I’m less likely to bother supporting the liberals next cycle.
