    It really depends on what a Trump reign will look like, right?

    Will he be able to round up tens of millions of people and deport them, as he has promised? Will he institute another Muslim ban, as he has promised? Will he stay in office after his next four year term, as he has said he wants to? Will he use the office of the president to persecute political opponents, as he has promised? Will he “root out” all the “vermin” in the United States, as he had promised? And if yes: who will get declared to be “vermin?” How will they be “rooted out?” Will he make torture legal, as he promised? Will he bring back family separation and child detention camps? Will he threaten nuclear war again? And if yes, will some crazy regime take him up on the offer?

    And if all of that or even just a fraction of that comes to pass, will you still sleep well, knowing that you might have been able to stop all of that but voting for the lesser of two evils was just beneath you?

    Because ultimately, that’s the decision you’re making.

      Yep! People like to try and pretend you can not be neutral but unless I am voting FOR trump then I am not canceling out someone else’s vote.

      I won’t help you guys re-elect a genocide supporting president either way.

      We keep talking about Israel is not doing enough to stop civilians and wringing our hand while on our knees sucking Netanyahu’s dick and just begging him not to cum on our face because we need to look presentable.

      They openly killed journalists, on video, with physical and forensic evidence, right after the journalists switched from recording the Lebanese side to the Israeli side.

      While clearly marked as being press.

      Defend that, also I am still waiting for those beheaded babies that the IDF used to rile everyone up with.

      You know, the one the president you want me to support said he saw and then had to walk back later.

        Refusing to participate doesn’t make you neutral. It makes you complacent.

        Are you okay with countries that see what’s happening in Gaza and do nothing so that they don’t have to get involved?

          I can support the countries that are not actively supporting genocide.

          Btw bad example, as far as I can tell, only the us is actively supporting genocidal actions, but I will reject anyone who is doing so.

          I would much rather them do nothing instead of supporting Israel.

          Don’t get me twisted, when 10/7 happened I completely supported them and felt grief for them and their suffering, then they decided to kill a bunch of kids.

          Do you support killing innocent children as well?

            Oh I’m staying neutral on this by not picking a side. That’s a completely acceptable course of action right?

              Yes it is!

              Good job you’re learning.

              Personally I disagree with you on the importance of not killing children, but you are free to have your own opinions.

                Well I’ll be able to sleep soundly at night knowing I haven’t taken a stance.
