These people don’t realize (or well, maybe they do and are lying, I can’t read their minds) that asking people to not meaningfully participate in voting is like asking people to not participate in capitalism.
The argument that there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism — something all leftists agree on and understand they still need to buy food, clothes, electronics etc. despite them being unethically sourced — is the same as the argument that there’s no ethical voting in FPTP (and capitalism). It’s literally the same argument, just centered on voting.
So these people end up doing a kind of unironic “you say you’re a leftist yet you own an iPhone” but for voting — while probably typing all that from an iPhone.
To be fair, some of them are members of the Church of Accelerationism and believe that making life worse for people and offering up vulnerable populations as sacrifice will magically lead to the world getting transformed into a better place, despite no historical data backing such an idea. So, they want Nazis to win, despite claiming to be leftists who care about fellow human beings.
Yeah, there’s a lot of that going around. As if capitalism will collapse precisely into fully automated luxury space communism as opposed to straight-up Mad Max (i.e. the manifestation of America’s collective id).
I do care I am just not dumb enough to think that your mentality is the solution.
Basically, you voted for Trump thinking the genocide issue would be resolved. Instead of genocide being resolved, you STILL have genocide in addition to a wrecked economy.
You bit hard into the propaganda campaign for this.
You had two choices, bad or worse.
You chose neither and allowed worse to win.
Get down off your high horse, this does not make you morally superior, it makes you an idiot.

I do not care. Tell Democrats to stop doing genocide instead of telling people to vote for it.
When you can’t buy anything in the stores you will definitely care.
When you’re starving to death in your own house you won’t be thinking about genocide anymore.
Stop burying your head in the sand.
Basically what you just said is it’s bad that democrats do genocide but when republicans do it then it’s fine.
Basically you said you do not care about genocide unless it happens to you.
No but you’ve abundantly made it clear that you think by letting Trump into office that the genocide issue magically goes away. Your logic sucks.
Edit: replied to wrong person
You think Kamala does not it go away but you do not care.

Well done. 👍
