    Whataboutism. A vote is a gesture of support. A vote for something is supporting that thing.

    You support murdering children.

      If voting means you agree with one of the parties, not voting means you agree with both and are ok with either ruling.

        The combined power rings of every major and minor party swirling in a thousand bands of light to combine into my political opinion

          In the US there are only two, for all intents and purposes. It’s the logical conclusion to the “first past the post” system.

          In other countries I agree with you. Still, not voting is not an option (unless you are ok with any party).

      We should be voting independent. Voting for R or D would lead to the same outcome. I hate the blind support for Israel. They’ve done some truly shitty things. Our relationship feels like trying to look out for the kid who gets bullied in school, but the whole time he’s out there spitting on people. We should at least be holding them accountable if we’re going to send them our resources.

        Yes, you really need to vote third party as much as you can. It already happened in Argentina (you may disagree with the party, but the fact that it’s third party and won the elections is the point), it can be achieved somewhere else
