    I knew Trump winning would mean disaster for me, my family, my friends. But I felt like Kamala winning would just buy us a few more years of relative peace

    It’s like you already know the answer, but you STILL did the wrong thing.

    And you justify it by ASSUMING the stakes would be higher 4 years later? How so? How would it be WORSE after 4 years of a LESS bad president? That makes no logical sense.

    Ideally vote boycotting would have started decades ago. But oh well, we can’t have things be perfect, so I guess starting the change now

    What the actual fuck? There is NO SITUATION in which choosing to not exercise the power to vote that a fuck ton of people died to give you is the right thing to do. You use that power to primary bad actors out of the party you most agree with, so you can reform that party. Something that’s happened multiple times throughout U.S. history.

    Anyone that utters the phrase “vote boycotting” needs to stop and re-evaluate their lives. That shit is downright disrespectful.
