Edit of yesterday's meme with accounted for non-voters
from Wikipedia
Reversing the points under a moving train will almost always derail the train.
How does one do that in this metaphor? Vote for one by mail and the other in person? That just lands you in jail and is functionally equivalent to sending the train down the "moral high ground" track.
I live in a deep red state. Not a swing state. Not a questionable state. A state where registered red voters outnumber blue voters 2-1.
I'm not saying that this applies to everyone but even if blue had an excellent turnout including me and reds had a bad turnout, it would still be a red win with a ratio 3-2.
I'm not voting not because I don't care, not because I don't think it's the right thing to do, not for some moral high ground, but because it actually doesn't matter. I am disenfranchised, I accept it, I make the best decisions I can knowing that.
I'm sure some will still tell me I'm wrong but I'm going to focus on my own interests and mental health.
If you are in a swing state, please vote. If not for yourself, for me. I'll consider it a favor.
(I have good reasons for living here. If you tell me I should move then why don't you move to a swing state?)
I like this, talking about your mental health. Whatever that means for many others, it's just about you.
Honestly your mental health will be alot worse off if you're part of the problem. Just vote.
I'm not an American (thank fuck) but I don't see any reason why I'd help red. At all. It's blue all the way since at least Kamala has some sense in her.
Ask yourself, why does everyone care about Palestinians so badly, do you even know any to begin with?
I am al for ending suffering but it seems the focus about what it's really about is lost in the elections...
