claim 1: “voting doesn’t change anything”

Never forget the recent case of Kris Mayes, who refuses to uphold the Arizona supreme court’s sweeping ban of abortion.

Kris Mayes only won her 2022 election by 280 votes. Voting changes things.

claim 2: “but genocide joe”

Yep. Hold that fucker’s feet to the fire. He has blood on his hands

But trump has promised to be indisputably worse.

I won’t tell you how to vote. I just encourage you to vote. You’re not radical for ditching the only miniscule right the state has granted you to do some small aid for your neighbors.

    You have every right to defend yourself from their arbitrary assumption against your character, but I don’t believe anyone is straight up calling you a liar. They’re just showing that they don’t actually know anything about you rather than directly accusing you of lying. Like for example, “I feel like my sister likes corn dogs”, do I know that as fact? Nope, I’ve never once seen her eat a corn dog in my life, it’s an arbitrary guess that ultimately means nothing, then she’d probably respond with something like “I don’t because I’m Jewish, stupid” and I’d look like a clown. I feel like that’s what’s happening here.

    Edit : small typo.
