    So instead of helping keep democracy from crumbling to the ground… you’re just going to step aside because you don’t feel listened to?

    Dude… you’re not the only one in the country. It’s virtually impossible for a sitting president to make even half of the country happy with their policy…

    Maybe look up what Biden has done just over the past four years compared to the previous 4. Then read up on Project 2025. Then have some responsibly to those that live on your country that are quite possibly going to lose only their rights as human beings if they’re lucky.

    This isn’t a fucking joke man. Vote and then spend the next four years actually doing the work it takes to make the change you want. I even give you a bit of advice…

    It’ll take a lot more than whining on the internet. It’s going to be hard work. But if you do it right, 2028 could be something to look forward to.

      Take a wild guess how many decades I’ve heard versions of this

        I don’t care how many decades you’ve heard it. I’m 52 years old and STILL doing my part to stop America from being overthrown by a traitor. What I care about is the work done to stop it from happening. Because It takes FAR more than whining online every four years.

        And this happens like clockwork… EVERY FOUR YEARS.

        Then everyone disappears and rerolls as victims of their own irresponsibility. Every four years.

        So don’t tell me how many decades you’ve heard versions of this.

        DO THE WORK.

          Im sitting here in a heat dome induced 100 degree weather. The heat is killing my ferns.

          Id say this slow walking of change has already killed us all.

          I am doing the work by refusing to participate in elections that we have zero impact on. Neither right wing fascist represents me or the people in my circles.

            So by not voting you’re admitting that you don’t give a shit about Palestine. Because it’s well known fact that Trump intents to do much worse and he’s not even trying to hide it. While Biden may not be doing enough, he’s certainly doing more than what will happen…

            So since it’s not about Palestine, what exactly is your angle?

              Lately I’ve been partial to Yeats similar quote :

              The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.

            we have zero impact on.

            Weird that suddenly you admit voting third party has zero chance
