    in the context of the US, if you (generally) chose not to vote in the 2024 election then you are guilty of doing nothing to prevent the atrocities committed by the Trump administration

    This is really a false dichotomy. There are so many other ways to fight against the atrocities. Given how enthusiastically the democrats are cooperating with the fascist agenda, if you didn’t vote but you uploaded some info to one of those ice watch apps, or went and protested in LA, or shuffled papers to slow down their progress in your federal job, you probably already did more tangible good than someone who did the other way around.

      Surely you don’t mean to imply that you can only do one or the other. That would be a false dichotomy, which, surely, you would understand.

      Non-voters just love piling on more shit to fight against, i guess.

          Well that’s good. It would be silly to claim to fight against fascism and then not vote, amirite or amirite lol
