Yeah I’m not voting for a capitalist party.
Congratulation! You have high-roaded the environment into the dumpster! You are complicit in all the actions of the election winners, because you helped put them in office!
May all your moralizing keep you warm at night.
Cool story bud but that’s not how shit works. Go play your reactionary, blame-shifting games elsewhere.
Edit: lol please keep responding you braindead Muppets, it lets me know who to block.
So, I’m not assuming that you or the person I replied to are in the US specifically.
But in the context of the US, if you (generally) chose not to vote in the 2024 election then you are guilty of doing nothing to prevent the atrocities committed by the Trump administration, when you in fact had the opportunity to do something - which is to say that you are guilty of negligence.
If you encouraged others to not vote then you are complicit in the actions of the Trump administration, because you helped put them in power.
There is no “blame-shifting game” being played here, as there is no need to shift anything. The blame is direct, valid, and undeniable.
How does that work with electors anyway? I’m under the impression that if you don’t live in a swing state your vote is basically a formality.
Yes. And even in a swing state, it may take a million or more votes to swing it.
The few states with apportioned electors are the outlier.
Yeah your vote has a one in a million power best case scenario. But in non swing states it willl be a few orders of magnitude less powerful.
The problem is, there often more than a million people in that state all thinking the same thing, that their vote doesn’t matter. Well, they’ve self fulfilled by taking themselves out of the equation.
What if they were in a state where their vote wouldn’t have even remotely changed the electoral vote outcome? It’s a strawman blame game you’re playing to feel smug about yourself in a generalized approach.
You don’t know anyone’s personal situation yet you have no qualm placing blame for a worldwide issue on a single individual.
Good for you. You shamed someone for not solving the worlds climate issues with a single fucking vote that may not have even made any difference at all.
Doing something is always better than doing nothing. You don’t get to cry if you did nothing, nobody should care about nothing, if you do nothing you are nothing. Stop fucking crying about it.
