    I maintain that throwing away a vote in a contested election like this is consenting to fascism though.

    i maintain voting for joe biden is ENDORSING genocide, not merely consenting to it.

      A vote is not an endorsement. It’s capital. It can be spent to try and affect some outcome. There’s no saving it for later, though.

      You spend it knowing it will change nothing and possibly result in a slightly worse outcome for everyone. That’s selfish and pathetic. As usual, leftists so far up their own assholes they refuse to allow progress to happen because they value their purity tests more highly than saving the world.

      Bet you didn’t vote in the primary either.
