When the American Empire implodes (hopefully soon) and a thousand years pass and an enlightened civilization is looking back on us with all your "nuance" weathered down, I don't want my name to be thrown on a list of people who voted for genocide. No democracy worth saving would've ever had its most important vote of our lifetimes ever for the fate of the world come down to Vanilla or Orange Sherbet flavored fascism. We are at the logical end of the American Experiment.
Cool, your name will be thrown on a list of people who enabled even more genocide than those who voted for less genocide. Thanks for having more blood on your hands, I guess.
Inaction isn't action. Stop trying to force your guilty conscience on me. Every Palestinian killed by by Israel was murdered with the full support and backing of the president we both (presumably) voted for in 2020, where we seem to differ is that I'm not going to have that blood on my hands when that genocider wants to ask for a fucking second turn at office.
Unless you're dead, choosing not to vote is an action. Don't deny your own agency.
That might explain why suicide rates are at all time highs.
Also it's a bit ridiculous to be discussing the agency of a single individual voter in a post that sweeps Biden's agency under the rug. I'll happily accept my silver of responsibility as long as Biden gets a dump truck of responsibility.
