    You’ll vote for trump/desantis then? Or will you kid yourself by saying “not voting isn’t the same as voting for trump”?

      Do we live in a democracy or not? How come not voting for biden is the same as voting for trump, but not voting for trump isn’t the same as voting for biden? So how about if our democratically elected representatives don’t represent our interests, we DO NOT VOTE FOR THEM? Is that too much to ask for in a supposed democracy?

        It lowers the bar for Trump/DeSantis to take a “likely democratic voter” and have them not vote. It’s like playing a sport and purposefully NOT taking a free shot on goal. It’s not quite the same as scoring for the other team, but it’s also not “nothing” since it makes it easier for the other team than it would have been.

          Sure but this “sport” has more than 2 teams, and also 100million more participants then who you are focusing on. I’d say that participating in the minor distraction of the two teams competing to see who can get the most money from lobbyists is probably the worst thing you can do.

              In first past the post there will only be two teams, but fortunately you do not need to vote for the Capitalists. You should not vote for the Capitalist, and if you do vote for them you are a bad person.
