     @mook especially as Harris & Trump are both viewed minimally as "not great options" by over 60% of people eligible to ballot cast in the USA.

     Posts like from said people just make them seem like messes of people & don't help their party nor candidate gain support from the growing # of people of my ilk, who revile all Republicrats

     @mook *nods* I don't plan on ballot casting for 3 main reasons
     1. I believe the machines will rig away my & other people's choices in counting

     2. I don't believe that the person listed as POTUS is even in real authority anymore & even if they were, anyone I'd actually want wouldn't have enough people in the house & senate to push through any public policy changes I want.

     3. With how difficult physically standing in the lines, filling out a ballot & putting it in for scanning is on me, I don't really find, what small odds remain of my getting something good done with this, in risking myself for said mess set.

     *Ideally I'd like a combo of ranked choice voting, publicly hand counted paper ballots & going back to the system of whichever candidate came in 2nd automatically becoming VP --- then I might have a chance of getting my "dream team" or similar of a Libertarian as POTUS & Green as VP for 8 years before that'd flip- then in 24 years we even might have a decent political setup...🙍

     @BrahmaBelarusian@todon.eu yeah, or just 'everyone who doesn't vote is a stupid piece of shit" it's just quite bizarre, okay bud, your job is actually to persuade people who might be on the fence lmao -- and doing this shit like insulting non voters or weird QAnon esque posts about Trump faking his assassination attempt, when no one even gives a shit anymore,
     
     i guess when you have absolutely zero "theory* or understanding of how the power structure operates you operate on a pure fantasy level, that Biden is overseeeing unprecedented prosperity or that Harris will change anything for the better.
     
     I think for most people, actively ignoring complicity in a genocide is psycologically damaging, it fucks you up, so there's an element of mass murder leading to general social irrationality/incoherence.
