    Wow. What a stupid thing to say out loud.

    Voting is a chess move, not a fucking love letter.

      Hate to break it to you, but your chess games have led you to the precipice of fascism and climate apocalypse. But keep playing, I’m sure the next game will reverse all that.

        HMMMM DO I WANT THE GUY THAT ISN’T GOING TO STOP OUR SLIDE TO FASCISM or the guy who is going to accelerate it??

        It’s such a tough choice! I don’t know what to do! Maybe I should just not vote so the second guy has a better chance???

          Do you know what’s so frustrating about these people? They often won’t show up until 6-9 months before the election and start complaining about the lack of choice. They don’t vote in the primaries, they don’t work the other 3 1/2 years on campaigns or for causes they care about. They do nothing at the local or state levels. They show up last minute, scream “nothing we do matters,” then fuck off until the next general.

          Just grenades complaining and griping and destroying things with no end in sight.

        LOL, tell me you don’t understand how U.S. elections work without telling me you don’t understand how U.S. elections work.

        What a paint-chip eating moronic take.

      Who is the politician playing against in this chess? I think that’s a dumb take.

      Like are there pawns being sacrificed? Do they strategize to back enemies into corners with no way out?
