    This is WHAT THE POST IS ABOUT. Putting Trump in office to try to influence the Dems is incredibly stupid and we’ve been responding to this tripe ALL YEAR already. Trump will be worse on Palestine, Ukraine, actively seek to harm LGBT people as well as Central/Southern American immigrants, and be much worse on tons of issues like labor laws, financial regulations, the environment, on and on. So, no. What you’re proposing is a naive and clueless idea.

      The only naive and clueless idea is supporting your government while its fueling a genocide where kids are being murdered daily

        Can you read, at all? What you’re saying is the precise stupid shit that this post is about and I’ve already pointed out that almost always, people sharing that viewpoint simply say something stupid and insulting about genocide and miss the entire point. So good job. I’m not going to bother to repeat it, but I’ll point out that claiming people are “supporting their government” by voting is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard lately.

          By voting a party you are supporting them. By advocating others to vote for it you are supporting them even more. If a party is already in charge as the government and you vote for them or encourage others to do so you are supporting the government.

            I really don’t get why some people have a hard time understanding how this all works. For an office like President, you don’t get your favorite choice. Period. You have to vote for the candidate who can actually win and best reflects your views and values. Jesus Christ. I can’t possibly be fucked to explain this again.

              Don’t spread propaganda. You can vote for anyone you want who is in the ballots.
